I love this! Hexagon wall organizer
So cute. I'm making several of these for gifts for my quilting buddies who love hexies.

I have been making accessory pouches for my hand tools and beauty aids. I was thinking of making small storage boxes for some other items to round a set all up and keep them together and padded to protect them. I was thinking that a clear plastic or mesh front would be a good thing to add.

I'm making several of these for gifts for my quilting buddies who love hexies.I recently did an online dive into small things to make for our guild to sell at our quilt show this year, and found that there are literally tons of free videos and patterns online for things like scrappie purses, totes, folded phone & eyeglass cases, zip/snap pouches, bags, bowls, bins, buckets, baskets, thread catchers, tissue box covers and tissue travel pack covers, pin cushions, aprons, stuffed dolls and critters,
This was my most favorite project from youtube-crafting with giulia:

I’ve made This apron.
Its all straight cutting and sewing, and if you don’t have enough to make it out of one fabric, I’m sure it would be lovely colour blocked.

Well I have never seen or heard of these, but apparently you can make handles for your fridge doors to keep them clean 🤪 https://lifesewsavory.com/how-to-sew...handle-covers/

I have made these and they are useful for people with arthritic hands and small children. Also an excellent way to use up those old CD's that some of us have laying around. And as an added bonus, maybe some of the buttons we are collecting...
There are other videos on you tube with more detailed instructions. These also make a great gift for a young child along with some playing cards for Old Maid, Go fish, and others. Actually found a set of 6 childrens card games on Amazon for about $6.
