I then using a paper punch put a hole in the center.I use a straight pin the fabric through the hole.As you can see I make about 4 stitches at each corner. I carry the blue fabric wallet as my take along, in my purse. The tote is for the camper or car travel.[ATTACH=CONFIG]472109[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]472110[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]472111[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]472112[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]472113[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]472114[/ATTACH]As you can see my hexes are scraps.No rhyme nor reason.They will just be hand sewn together willy nilley. I use a tweezers to take out the papers.I reuse them as I do not sew through the paper.Hope this helps. judy j

I've had the punch in my online shopping cart at Joann for days and the coupon code won't work for the free shipping. I'm really looking forward to when i get it all figured out and then i can make a take a long sewing kit. This is what i need to work on hand sewing in small amounts because i am absolutely terrible at it.
