As a hint .... I have had a set of hexi templates cut at the local glass shop. Minimal cost to me, as they can be cut from their scrap bin.
When cutting the papers ... I use old greeting cards!
It doesn't take long to cut a whole bunch of paper hexies ... or the fabric.
I just do them as a break from other projects.
The papers are often cut on the kitchen counter, while I wait for supper to cut.
Fabric, stays in my sewing room, for fear of any food spills (small kitchen)!
