Hexagon Storage Basket

Hello Friends, I hope you are really well. Today I am excited to share my new pattern release for the Hexagon Storage Basket! I've been working on this pattern for months now as the pattern writing and testing process is a long one. Also, the pandemic happening has affected my creativity and drive and I know this has happened to many people. Couple this with changes at home and it has led to me taking a long time to get the pattern finished so thank you so much to everyone who has been so patiently waiting for it.

The pattern is a downloadable PDF file and it has a full instruction booklet with step by step photographs, along with templates. If you've bought my previous pattern, you'll know I like to make the instructions as detailed and clear as possible. The pattern has instructions to make two sizes of the basket, a small one which measures approximately 7 1/2" in diameter and has three internal pockets, and a large one which measures approximately 10" in diameter and in addition to three internal pockets, it also has special places to keep embroidery scissors and EPP glue pen refills!

I have four finished baskets in my sewing room and I love them, they are so handy for keeping your current project in and I love that I can take everything I need in it from room to room. The hexagon needle book fits perfectly in the pockets of both sizes of basket and the hexagon sewing case fits into the large one by standing it upright or you can place it on top like a lid.

During lockdown in the UK, I was talking to my Dad over the phone and he told me that he was getting interested in sewing as he had been playing with an old sewing machine he had found. When I told him about my pattern, he offered to test it for me. This is the first time he has ever sewn anything and he did a brilliant job. I dropped the materials he needed at his back fence and then he completed the basket without any help from me at all. He has also been watching my Youtube videos and it has been so lovely to chat about sewing with him.

In addition to my Dad testing the pattern, I also had some help from some amazing Instagram friends. The super talented Zena @mycreativepottylife made such beautiful versions of the pattern using gorgeous Tilda fabrics and adding sweet details like she always does.

The lovely Sarah @Sarah.costello.10 made this really pretty version below and it matches the hexagon sewing case she made when she tested that pattern for me back in February. Sarah has fabulous sewing skills and I love the quilting details she added.

The very talented Brittany made a large and a small basket. Her skills are incredible and I love her fabric choices. Her stitching is perfection, she is such a wonderful maker and a brilliant pattern tester.

I feel so incredibly lucky to have had such fantastic support from such wonderful and talented makers. The pattern writing and developing process is a long one and I could not have got there without their help, so thank you so so much. If you would like to make a basket too, the pattern is now available in my shop. Thank you so so much, it really means a lot to me. I hope you love the pattern.
Take care,
​happy sewing!
