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.
Another angle. Frames have been centered with each other, and toetacked into place with wood screws.
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.
4. Dump out on towels on living room floor, with fan blowing.

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.
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.
At this point, I like to trim the excess batting off, to make the batting & backing match the size of the quilt top. Sometimes I have to cut tiny little slits in the batting at the corners, so that any excess doesn't pile up inside the binding.
I only do one of the four sides at a time, usually. And then trim the batting again when I reach the next side, etc.
