This spring I took a break from other projects to make a fun little scrappy bag for my friend Grayce. I've long been obsessed with hexies, but they are time-consuming little buggers! I finally realized that making hexies is a great way to pass the time as a passenger on long car rides. The finished bag is smaller than a reusable shopping bag, and I thought it would be perfect for holding a sewing project or for lunch on the go. Luckily Grayce thought so too!

The maroon fabric was left over from an apron I made years ago, and the raindrops are Little Things Organic Rainy Day Grey on Cream Raindrop by Arrin Turnmire of Little Figs by Moda. The Oregon fabric is my own Spoonflower design. Once you start making hexies it's hard to stop! We took a little road trip to Central Oregon over Memorial Day weekend and I started another hexie project that will eventually become a pillow. So much fun!
