Made for the lovely @jemimah in Positive Affirmations R-2.
When she mentioned all her sewing things were packed up & travelling on a cargo ship across the sea with an ETA of ??? I knew she needed a travel kit of necessary items.
Snaps, hooks, & a few buttons from my collection are knotted on individually so they can be snipped off one at a time. The big button is a magnetic needle minder.
This was my first time making hexies & it was pretty fun finding a colour combo I liked. I cut out so many batiks, why not send the rest along as a starter project?
It’s even better in real life - so pretty, and beautifully made too.
I feel very lucky to have this, my friend, thank you! I’m going to be travelling a lot more often now (exploring Australia, and going home to visit family) and I know it will be well used!
I imagine I would be quite the unhappy camper if I didn’t have any access to a little sewing project whenever I felt the itch to stitch. Even if I’m too busy to actually do it, it makes me feel better just knowing it’s there waiting for me.
They are HARD! You know I’m more scrappy than precise so whoo, what a challenge to do all that teeny, perfect, hidden stitching. It was worth trying. Not sure I have the patience for a repeat but we’ll see… definitely have to get more comfy with using a thimble.
