Continue repeating steps 9 & 10, until the hexagon is complete. You can remove the pin at this point, but not the paper!

 

Materials: Assorted fabrics (I used calicos, osnaburg, and a linen mix), (Fabric+Paper) Scissors , (Contrasting+Matching) Thread, Needle, Pins, Pencil, Ruler, Scrap Printer Paper, and hexagon template on card stock (or plastic).

 

Fold the fabric along the next edge of the hexagon, be careful not to bend the paper hexagon.

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.

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.

1. Soak in soapy water.

2. Transfer to mesh bag and rinse in bathtub.

3. Use laundry basket, lined with towel, to carry to living room.

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!
