When the pattern was released, mum made one for herself and I drooled all over it, but never thought for a second that I could make one for myself! I dread anything to do with zips and this has FOUR (argh!). So I hinted that maybe this might be a good Christmas present... and TAH DAH!!
The English-Paper-Pieced hexie patchwork was a special treat made using my new blue/red stash that I picked up in
The Strawberry Thief's recent destash on IG.
I got to choose the lining fabrics, which were a mix of Liberty prints from both
The Strawberry Thief and
Materialise Your Life. And the final pops of colour came from the zipper colours! So many unique ways to customise this truly unique pattern.
If you haven't tried the pattern, I would recommend giving this one a go - or begging someone with better than beginner sewing skills to make one for you (skeehee). The bag itself has been really handy. It sits right next to my machine holding everything I need. And when the kids are in bed and I want to watch a bit of telly whilst stitching, I just take the whole bag with me. Super handy!
