The HEX Bag
The 'HEX' Bag
The 'HEX' Bag © 2025 Cork and Copper Designs
The 'HEX' Bag is a great beginner project! This design can be customized with the Cat Face. The Cat Face can be done as HTV, Applique, or Reverse Applique, while the back saying "We're Are All Mad Here", files are good for Stickers, Cards, Decals, HTV, Transfers, and more!
There are separately available embroidery files, and Cut and Sews! The 'HEX' Bag is so versatile and useful! Included in this pattern are options for 2 card slots, wrist strap, and an adjustable main strap. They can be used as a purse, a going out clutch, or used as just a pouch! There are 3 Styles with 2 Sizes for each, for a total of SIX Bags or HEX!
The 'HEX' Bag Pattern is drafted for use with domestic sewing machines. I have a Pfaff Quilt Expressions 710 and Pfaff Quilt Expression 3.5. I try to make things that don’t need an industrial machine, even though I have an industrial Juki-DDL 8100 eH/x.
Please do not post full pictures of the pattern pieces on social media.
