Today I’ve got a bit of project inspiration to share, based on some cuffs I made and sold last week at Renegade Craft. I’ve been making plain, quick crochet cuffs (you can easily substitute a garter or seed stitch band of knitting), then dressing them up with paper-pieced fabric hexagons! Oh, those addictive hexagons, they keep showing up everywhere around Casa de Kitchen Sink.
The basics of hexagon paper piecing can be found in a great tutorial on the Sew, Mama, Sew blog, as well as here on Lovestitches. And I use the no-show sewing method shown here on the Sew Many Ways blog. This is a great way to use up teensy bits of cool scrap fabric, or to show off one motif of a larger print.
Don’t forget to remove the paper before you sew the patch down! Use a sewing needle and thread and little whipstitches.
Questions? Drop me a line. Have fun!
