A Hexie Flatware Pouch for the Across The Pond Sew Along

In my last post,

I shared photos of some little hexagons

I made using a mini charm pack

of Glamping by Moda.

My mom was quite taken with the cute

little 1" hexies,

so I decided to use a few of them to make something for her.

But what should I make???

I turned to a comment by The Patchsmith

for inspiration.

In my post for this month's

Across the Pond Sew Along,

Amanda suggested using a single cutlery pouch

for a breakfast tray or a Mother's Day present.

{Brilliant! No need to make an entire set!}

I made up a single one-of-a-kind pouch,

just as a special gift for my mom...

for no reason at all.

I chose three of the prettiest hexies,

and used white Kona cotton

as a glamorous backdrop.

I stitched around each hexie by machine.

So easy, actually!!!

{I shortened the stitch length to 2.0 on my sewing machine.}

For the lining of the flatware pouch,

I selected a piece of Sunshine Roses

by Tanya Whelan.

I love the aqua polka dots in the background.

This little flatware pouch

will brighten any day, don't you think?

Enjoy, Mom!
