Hexy Rainbow Cushion PDF Pattern

Hand sewing, particularly English paper-piecing has experienced a huge resurgence recently, which could be put down to the love of the humble hexagon. This cute six sided shape is everywhere, from quirky shelving in interior magazines, tiling in modern kitchens, and of course in textile and fabric designs. 

So why not join in fun and create your very own Hexy cushion, this traditional technique has been brought right up to date and, even though new techniques make it quicker and easier than ever, the lovely repetitive hand sewing motion can still be very meditative in a fast-paced world.
