A lot of unpicking but it is done
Well a while back I shared that I was using some Asian Taupe materials to do some hand patching using a stretched hexagon block. I finished the patchwork a long time ago but it took until last night at the girls get together to get on with turning it into my new wallet.
I am really happy with the result. Though my mind took a bit of getting around how I was going to make it and I had to unpick about 5 times, which is not like me at all. But as you can tell from the lack of blogging I have had a pretty full week and I think it caught up on me. I have meant to make this for about two years as my old wallet (also made from asian taupe fabrics) was totally worn.

What a nice piece! Love the stretched hexagons (coffins) and the palette you chose. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI find working with the Asian taupes very soothing. Your stretched hexagon pattern would make a nice cover for a tablet that is shared by me and my Main Man. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks Libby, You need your own tablet then you can cover it how you want. But I do find the taupe fabrics appeal to my husband more too.
DeleteDefinitely worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteDespite the unpicking (or because of) it has turned out great, thanks for linking up!
