Recently, several people have asked if they can make “hexipuff” projects with woven hexagons, and the answer is: Absolutely YES!
From a single hexagon design like this Puff Pet™ Ladybug to a design with more hexagons, like the Flower Power Emoji Meter, all you really need to do is:
- Weave twice the amount of hexagons as for a flat design
- Make two, mirrored layers of the design
- Sew them together
- Stuff
- Quilt tie where the hexagon corners meet
… and enjoy your puffed, woven hexagon project.
For example … take the Grape Table Topper from the new Interweave “Little Looms” magazine …
Apply the steps above, and you’ll get a very decorative, squishy pillow!
That’s just one way to do it. You could also make a bunch of single “puffs” and then tie/sew them together.
If you want to try the Grape Pillow but don’t yet have the magazine, we are giving away ONE PRINT COPY of the new “Easy Weaving with Little Looms Summer 2018” magazine. Here is how it works:
