Summer Hexie Sew Along 2026 — Starter Kit 🌸

Everything you need to start your 1" hexie journey this summer!

Join the Summer Hexie Sew Along 2026 and stitch a beautiful 1" Hexie Flower Ring, appliquéd onto a background fabric. This Starter Kit has all the tools to get you going!

Your kit includes:

• Acrylic 1" fussy cut hexie template
• Fussy cutter
• 3 Milliners / Straw Needles (size 9/10) — the best needle for English Paper Piecing!
• Bee-themed needle minder / sewing magnet
• 100 × 1" hexie papers to get started

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

Want more? Upgrade to the Hive & Thrive Bundle (adds 80wt thread, thread gloss, mini snips) or the Bloom & Beyond Bundle (adds everything plus a lap app and The Hexie Hive Post snail mail club!).
