Description

Okay so like this is a total scrappy/ charm-square-friendly project. And if you’ve never woven fabric and have been all scurred or intimidated, get over it because this is so manageable even though it has a bunch of steps.

Instructions

  1. Small 2020 12 31 011057 img 0430 1

    To get there, draw three horizontal lines 1.5″ apart. Then draw lines going 30 degrees both ways on an imaginary horizontal line also 1.5″ apart. Boom there you go.

    Cut 3″ strips of whatever fabric you wanna use. I used two colors and needed a 30″ strip of each color. Then iron the length of the strips with the edges folded into the center. Next fold in half lengthwise and iron it and then top stitch on both sides of the pressed strip. Cut these finished strips into 5″ pieces. You should end up with 6 of each color. Layer 1 of the Weave Pin down the four vertical strips right next to each other.

    Layer 3 Follow these pictures.

    Pat yourself on the back and stare at what you did for a minute or two or five.

    PREPARING YOUR HEXIE First you need to secure your weave with tape. Place a piece of tape on the inside of the edge of the woven hexie part.

    npin your weave. No worries it’ll be all good. Now, using a stitch length of 1.4, sew right on the outside of the tape that forms the hexagon. Once you’ve secured the perimeter, remove the tape and trim 1/4″ outside of this stitch line.

    Once again pause and look at what you just did and happy clap.

    BINDING THE HEXIE Cut a strip 1.5″ wide. Iron it like the strips you did up top but don’t edge stitch it. With this folded strip, glue baste in place. I mean like if you wanna be all brave and bind it on the regular, go for it, but I glued first.

    When you get to the end, snip it and fold it as such.

    Next edge stitch the binding onto the hexie and boom you have your pre-ornament woven hexie. And like legit I see so many things you can do with this so if you ain’t into ornaments, make yourself a coaster or something.
