Pieced Hexies Craftsy Course Review
Recently Craftsy celebrated 2 million members by having a sale on everything. I knew straight away what I wanted to enrol in: Pieced Hexies Beyond English Paper Piecing with Mickey Depre. You can find this quilting Craftsy class here: I really enjoyed this class. Mickey Depre is a great teacher and her classes are well structured. I was surprised at the length of each lesson but I was not disappointed. Besides there’s not much to learn about English Paper Piecing :). I learnt a few tips that I did not know when I started my hexie quilt in my teens which is still a WIP that mum took over. These tips will come in handy for my second attempt at hexies :). Mickey goes through all the basics for English Paper Piecing in one lesson which is great as I have not done hand sewing in 20+ years. She goes through how to piece her 2 hexie designs and how to get the designs perfect. The Craftsy course may not be long time wise compared to other Craftsy courses but when it comes with 2 bonus patterns and with the sale discount I felt it was worth the cost. I am very happy with the class and glad I took it. Here is my first project for the class. I have not sewn them together yet as I wasn’t sure which design I want. I chose these 3 as I was after a floral design. I could not decide so I asked hubby and my girls which they liked best. They all chose the bottom design so I will be hand sewing it tonight. Looking forward to trying the other design in the Craftsy course and seeing whether I can come up with some of my own :)....
