Hexagon Week : my crafts !!!

I thought something simple, but useful when I go out just for a walk....beyond my camera, I need my cell phone and few coins, so I made a little cosy to put around my neck!

I traced the hexagons patterns and I cut out the ones I needed (large and medium)...



...and I chose to work with some polka dots felt in 3 different colours...


...I easily traced the hexagons on the back of the fabrics, then cut...



...then I selected some cotton threads and a bright green ribbon ...


...and the first thing I did sew on was a little front pocket (coins/lips balm!), using a contrasting thread...


...then, it was the moment to sew the ribbon on both sides of the cosy...


....done with that, I joined the 2 big hexagons using the blanket stitch...


....a perfect fit for my smartphone!!!! ;oD

Some more images....




....and front&back close ups....
