Hexie Caddy Pincushion

DSCN2305
Two weeks ago, I made this pincushion caddy . After much advice from my blogging buddies, I decided not to do a tutorial. It is after all a pattern from a book, even though I made it without the book !


As you may know, I love hexagons! I’ve made

I’ve searched Flickr, Google and YouTube but no one seem to have made this…..

  3. All your hexies are lovely - I am afraid if I start doing some I WILL NOT finish those things lurking in the cupboard... I think a tutorial would be great (I might even be tempted to try some hexies for that!!) - it's a beautiful pincushion.... Hugz
