Hive & Thrive Bundle 🌼🐝 — Summer Hexie Sew Along 2026

Everything you need to stitch, thrive, and absolutely love every moment of it.

The Hive & Thrive Bundle is for the sewist who wants to show up fully equipped for 1" English Paper Piecing — thread gloss at the ready, snips in hand, and not a single excuse to stop stitching. 🐝

🌸 Starter Kit essentials:

• Acrylic 1" fussy cut hexie template + fussy cutter
• 3 Milliners / Straw Needles (size 9/10)
• Bee-themed needle minder / sewing magnet
• 100 × 1" recycled hexie papers

🌼 Hive & Thrive upgrades:

• 80wt thread — nearly invisible seams, perfect for EPP hand sewing
• Thread gloss — prevents tangling, makes every stitch a joy
• Mini snips — sharp, precise, always at hand

You'll also need (sold separately):

• Fabric for your flowers: At least 6 different colours for petals and centres — a Layer Cake (10" squares) or a 2.5" strip set / Jelly Roll works beautifully
• Background fabric: 1.5 yards of a single background fabric
• 1" hexie papers: Approximately 200–225 papers for the full small ring — we recommend our 400-pack recycled 1" hexie papers
• Optional: Green fabric for the Jewel Leaf template (1" Jewels Small Pack, 75 pieces) — sold separately

Save ~$10 versus buying everything separately. Just add fabric and you're ready to stitch!
