I love my Liberty London fabrics and can’t bear to throw away any scraps. I came up with this idea for a tiny hexie Christmas tree card to use up some of my scraps. This would make a great card to give to your sewing friends don’t you think?
I used a 1/2″ hexagon template downloaded from here. After forming the hexagon tree, I traced a star on top and then used thick thread to sew around each side using my pencil marks as a guide. I glued each hexagon on the card instead of sewing them together first. Alternatively, you can glue on a piece of muslin first and then cut around the edges so it doesn’t show and then glue onto the card.
How do you like to use your hexies in projects? Would love you hear comments!
Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Thanksgiving for those of you in the US.

Love your idea of the hexie tree. I don’t have any Liberty fabrics but I do admire them. You have give me the idea to do fabric postcards using the 1/2″ hexies. I think they’d fit. I’ll have to go give that a try….will probably join them as I usually do when EPPing. Thanks; great tree!
This is such a cute idea!! I love it!
Great idea. I love all hexie projects.
What a great idea!
What a neat idea!
That is super cute.
This is a lovely idea, very pretty way to use up those little bits of Liberty!
This is such a cute idea, I am sure your friends (even non sewing ones) would love them! Love your beautiful card…i might have to go make some myself.
I can see why you don’t want to throw any of the Liberty fabrics away and you’ve come up with a very good way to use them. Cute tree!
