All that's left is to sleep on it. :)

 

I have this tendency to start every other tutorial with a warning about how easy the skill is; and aside from the knitting/crochet patterns, the step to entry really is quite simple and anyone can do it. These hexagon quilt pieces are like the others- if you can sew by hand, you can do it!

 

Now, what you do with them is another matter. I like this hexagon decorated fabric box, and there's potholders and a tote bag, of course. Or "hex jeans". Or go wild and make a whole quilt of hexagons. The method I'm introducing below was created by combining the most common sense of several hexagon tutorials into the easiest possible steps.

 

With the matching thread and needle, sew the edge of the two hexagons together. Be careful to only go through the fabric, and not the paper!

Once you decide how you'd like to lay out your fabric hexagons, plac ethe right side of two neighboring hexagons together, with their edges matching.

this book is packed with adorable tiny felted creations, perfect for felting beginners.

 

the projects use needlefelting, from a combination of soft fluffy wool and prefelted sheets.

 

there are over 67 projects, most are very easy and quick and use only needlefelting, to make the cutest little collections.

 

the scenes created include a picnic, sewing room, cooking and eating, gardening. other projects include letters and numbers, matryoshikas, jam jars, little houses and plants, flags, mice and candles, cameras, sewing machine and dressmakers dummy, coat hangers, telephone, clogs, birds, pine cones, nuts, etc.

 

all in japanese, but many photos, drawings and diagrams show you how to make the projects.

Another angle. Frames have been centered with each other, and toetacked into place with wood screws.

I'm liking this already.

The chalkboard paint allows you to write whatever plant name you want on the back, in case you don't want to use the stamped names.

Done! Your custom chalkboard paint is now ready to be written on with chalk!

Add another hexagon by repeating steps 14 & 15.

Attach the servo horn. It's splined to the gear, so just position it and push it on.

All finished! Hook the servo up to your microcontroller and give it a test.

When told to go to position 0 (1500µs), it should stop. Less than 1500µs, it should move backwards, and more than 1500µs will move it forwards.

If you find your potentiometer has slipped, test different centre positions until it's completely stopped - you should find it will be stopped at three different microsecond times. Use the central one. Then, the servo will generally go full backwards at centre-200 and full forwards at centre+200.

Attach wheels and have fun!

Be sure to reinforce the corner where the 3 hexagons meet, by sewing a couple extra stitches through all three of the hexagons.

 

Now you know how to hand-piece a hexagon quilt top, but what will you make with them?

Continue adding hexagons by sewing an edge at a time. When you're done, make sure all the loose edges have been sewn/secured to another.

First, attach the camera to the end of a pool-cleaning pole with a Gorillapod. I also put a cabletie around the camera strap and through the pole because I really didn't want my DSLR falling 20 feet into the pool.

step 1: ideas first

 

come up with a good picture of what you're going for. this one was my start:

all of my pattern pieces are made out of newspaper, though you can use butcher paper, tissue paper, old wrapping paper, anything big enough that you have.

 

step 2: make legs:

measure the distance from your armpit to your wrist, and make the pattern piece about that long. the bottom edge of the legs will be the long side, and the top edge the shorter side.
