Well, my mind raced and raced until I could get home and make one for myself. Would I use my JayBirds hexy ruler? Hmm.... WAIT!!! I have a Honeycomb pack of Happy Go Lucky! That would work! Right?
So, I sliced the hexies in half and arranged them all pretty like ;D
Then I sewed them in one giant continuous row, pressing after each seam was sewn.
...being sure to line each one like in the below picture ;)
Then I squared each end of the LONG row of braids and divided the LONG row into thirds. (If I had ended up making it into a table runner, I would have just divided the LONG row in half)
Next came the sewing into rows :) ...and quilting it.... and then turning it into the CUTEST knitting bag ever! ;D
See :)
One large pocket for "stuff!"
One zipper pocket for other "stuff!"
