Hexie Queen Blog Hop: The Hexie Skirt

Well, the day is here, and I am officially participating in my very first blog hop! Welcome to "Grizz 'n' Dove!" 

The Hexie Skirt

With this project, I was able to kill two birds with one stone... well, really three birds with one stone! 

1. I love sewing scrappy hexagons, so I've had some hexies already stitched and lying around that really needed to be made into something.
2. Peanut needed something fun to wear to a wedding rehearsal.
3. I've been wanting to participate in a blog hop!

 Just a quick how-to summary: I cut my hand-stitched, scrappy hexies into a rectangle two times as wide as Peanut's waist. Then, I quilted it to a piece of solid yellow fabric and attached it to the white-dot-on-purple fabric. Finally, I sewed the rectangle into a "tube," and sewed the elastic casing, added the elastic and closed the casing.

Don't let that bottom picture fool you; of course, Peanut just LOOOOVED her skirt!

See, she was so comfy in it, that she fell asleep on Mommy and was easily transferred to Daddy when it was my turn to eat :)

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to visit the rest of these Hexie Queens today to enjoy some Hexie inspiration!
