First up, some photos of this week's
Zakka Style Sew-Along project! It was a cute zip pouch, but the real stars are the hexagons appliqued onto it. I have been wanting to try making hexies since I saw
Rachael over at imagine gnats make some awhile back, but I had no idea how. This project got me started, and now I can't seem to stop. I usually despise hand sewing, but these are so much fun, and can be done while riding in the car or watching TV. I may have even ordered some charm packs of cute fabric just so I can make more...and I'm not quite sure what they will become!

| I do love a good contrasting zipper. |

| I wasn't sure if I was going to keep or sell the pouch...and then I realized it is perfect for keeping my hexie-making supplies together! |
I was in the "big city" last week and went to Target. Those bins of dollar items at the entry always suck my kids in...and they got me this time, too. I found these cute little containers that I am using to further organize my sewing space. Great for scraps, thread, trash, or transporting my hand-sewing supplies between desk and couch.
