Hexi bath mat made by Lizzy

This was a quick last minute gift to send off to my mum for Mother’s Day. She pretty much has everything so I needed something that was useful…& gorgeous!

Here’s how I made it

I chose fabrics too match her bathroom tiles…blues, yellows & turquoise then made up basic hexagons
I’ve always had a soft spot for hexi patchwork, infact it was my mum who taught me how too make them many years ago. I sewed strips of them together

It grew fast

I think the colours work well together

Once the top seemed the correct size I sandwiched it onto some wadding backed with a remnant of curtain lining. It seemed a bit water resistant so thought it a good choice

I decided too simply follow the shape of the hexi’s & stitch around them in the ditch ( the seam). It gives a nice plump effect

I’d cut the backing big enough too turn over as the edge binding, I like too use this method, zig zag stitching it down

I added a cute label & ta daaa all done
