Thank you for demonstrating all the different fabrics. It was very helpful. I was going to ask if you had any that turned out kinda wonky, but then you went over that all also.
Truth is, unless I'm being very careful, almost all of them come out just a little wonky. Laying them down on a flat, hard surface while folding each edge helps make them more exacting.
Hexies are cute and way easier than I thought they would be. I will have to make some of these. I have not had any luck finding velvet in the colours I like. I like pastels for velvet so do you know where I should look? Thanks. :)
Kathy Ranger I’m not well versed in making folded hexies. I’m sure if I practiced more I’d get better at it. It’s like everything, the more you do it, the better you get. All of these things take time. ❤️
It’s a miniature version of the large wool mat I often have on the table beneath my work. You can anchor your needle into it making drizzle stitches much easier. ❤️
On one of your videos you showed us a cute little box to hold the hexagon paper pieces in. Is this box specific to hold the hexagons or is it from some other source? I’ve been looking for it and can’t find it.
Joyce Breeden I think you must have seen that elsewhere as I just throw mine into ziploc bags! But I know Sue Spargo carries something that sounds like what you’re describing. Here’s the link: www.suespargo.com/store-detailnew.php?cat=145&ID=1
HI, I haven't watched your videos for awhile as being making masks for charity. I so enjoyed these folded hexies. A question - why do back the non cotton fabrics witht he presto sheer and what can you use in place of Sue's product (not sure if I can get hers here in South Africa). Thank you once again for your inspiring videos
Hi Carol, in the case of the Dupioni silk the presto sheer or any light weight stabilizer/interfacing keeps it from fraying, which it will do without it, so much so that making a folded hexie would be impossible. The velvet I use the presto sheer because it stabilizes it just a little so that folding those edges down is a tiny bit easier. Any light-weight interfacing should work.
I saw this done on a sewing show several years ago. I appreciate seeing it done again because I couldn't remember how to do it. Thank you.
❤️
Very helpful. Thank you
I'm so glad.
Hi Ariane, it was so much fun to learn making hexies. I will surely give it a go. Thank you 🩵
Wonderful. Tell me how it goes! ❤️
Thanks for sharing this technique. Handy to know. ❤
❤️💕❤️
Thank you for sharing this technique!
❤️
Thanks. I’m going to try my hand at making these.
WonderfuL!
Love it! Thanks!
Wonderful. I'm so glad.
Thankyou
❤️
Really like this method, not gluing.
❤️
Love this Ariane Hexies are my go to for a lot of things,never seen this before can’t wait to give it a go Thankyou
Donna Bennett - they’re a lot of fun and different enough from a traditional hexie to be in a class of their own. Tell me how it goes! ❤️
Fascinating to watch..I'm definitely going to try these. Thank you.
Oh good, tell me how they turn out!
This is so fun Ariane! I am really enjoyed this and will try today!
Wonderful!!
That was way easier than I thought. I had watched someone else's video and I couldn't do it but yours makes it easy.
Oh good! I'm so, so happy. They are fun.
I always wondered how to make those! Very cool!
They're fun!

I hand dyed my own, so no, I don’t have a good source for pastel colored velvets. You might check West Coast wool and see if she has some.
Love your technique. Im still not doing very well, but I keep trying. Maybe someday 🙄

You mentioned a drizzle pad in the supplies list but didn’t demonstrate how to use it. How would it be used?

Where can I buy the hexi storage box with the little compartments?
I believe Sue Spargo has them. I'm sorry I am not seeing this comment until just now! I hope you were able to find them. ❤️

Yes! It was on Sue Spargo’s site. Thank you.
