Hexagon tutorial

V posledni dobe mi ucarovaly hexagonky. Jsou opravdu jednoduche a maji sirkoke vyuziti. Pouzila jsem je jako ozdobu na tasticku, nebo se hodi skvele na polstar, behoun, quilt...

I felt in love with hexagons lately. You can use these little cuties on anything. I put them on my make-up pouch, pillows, or they are perfect on table runner or quilt....

Pripravila jsem pro vas jednoduchy postup, ktery zvladne i zacatecnik.

 Technika je English paper piecing. Jsou site rucne a pouziva se papirove sablony. Hotove  sablony v ruznych velikostich se daji koupit.

 Sablonu najdete zdarma ke stazeni tady kdyz na strance sjedete niz je pod nazvem 1.5 in. hexagon sheet

staci rozkliknout a vytisknout. Tisknu na normalni kopirovaci papir.  Je tam nekolik velikosti, pouzila jsem 1.5 inch. Technika a postup je stejny at uz delate jakoukoliv velikost.

There are several tutorials out there, each one bit different. This is my version. It's pretty easy and perfect for beginners.

You can buy pre-cut English paper piecing hexagons or you can print free template here

and cut them yourself like I did. They come in variaty sizes in my tutorial I used 1.5 inch.

Papirovou sablonu prispendlim na kousek latky.

Place paper template on fabric.

 

Sestrihnu do tvaru hexagonu. Nemusi byt perfektni.

Cut around into hexagon shape. Doesn't have to be perfect.

Prelozim pres hranu papiru a prostehuji pres papir.

Fold over the paper and baste.

Prilozim licem k sobe dva nastehovane hexagony a v krajicku pevnou niti sesiju k sobe.

Put right sides together and stitch.

Prezehlim i s papirem po licove strane.

Press with iron on the right side.

 

Papir odstranim nez je prisiju rucne na latku.

Remove the paper before stitching to the fabric.

 

 

Mejte se krasne a dekuji za navstevu :)

Happy stitching :)
