🌸 Hexie Garden Pouch: So Many Ways to Sew This Sweet Little Project

If you’re looking for a quick, satisfying sewing project that’s perfect for scraps, gifting, and a little creative play, the Hexie Garden Pouch is one of my all‑time favourites. It’s a beginner‑friendly design with endless possibilities — whether you love English Paper Piecing, fussy cutting, bold prints, or soft pastels.

Over the years I’ve sewn so many versions, and each one has its own charm. Today I’m sharing a collection of ideas and inspiration to help you customise your own Hexie Garden Pouch. I hope it sparks your creativity and shows just how versatile this little pattern can be.

🌼 Why Makers Love the Hexie Garden Pouch

This sweet drawstring pouch is quick to sew, fun to personalise, and perfect for using your favourite scraps. It’s a lovely project for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike — simple construction, satisfying details, and a polished finish every time.

🌸 So Many Ways to Sew It

One of the joys of this pattern is how different each version can look. Whether you prefer soft florals, bright colours, modern prints, or something whimsical, the Hexie Garden Pouch adapts beautifully. A collage of my samples shows just how varied the results can be.

🌼 Hexie Flower (Perfect for EPP Beginners)

The classic version features a sweet hexie flower on the front panel — a wonderful introduction to English Paper Piecing. It’s a relaxing hand‑sewing project and a lovely way to showcase tiny prints or favourite scraps.

🌸 Sweet Drawstring and Bead Details

The drawstring closure gives the pouch its charming shape, and adding wooden beads or decorative knots is an easy way to personalise your finish. It’s a simple detail that makes the pouch feel extra special.

🌼 Stands Up Beautifully on Its Curved Base

The gentle curved base helps the pouch stand upright on its own — no boxed corners required. It gives the pouch a soft, rounded silhouette and makes it perfect for storing small items.

🌸 Prefer Not to EPP? Try a Fussy‑Cut Panel

If hand‑sewing isn’t your thing, you can swap the hexie flower for a fussy‑cut feature panel. This is a great way to highlight a favourite print or motif, and it gives the pouch a completely different look.

🌼 Perfect for Gifting and Storing Small Treasures

These little Hexie Garden pouches make thoughtful handmade gifts and are ideal for storing notions, jewellery, treats, or keepsakes. They’re quick to sew and always appreciated.

🌸 Works With Any Fabric Style

From Liberty and Tilda to brights, gingham, or modern geometrics — this pattern works with absolutely anything. It’s a wonderful scrap‑buster and a fun way to experiment with colour and print combinations.

🌼 Try Three Hexies for a Modern Twist

For a fresh, contemporary look, try adding three small hexies instead of a flower. This variation is playful, modern, and perfect for bold prints or fussy‑cut hearts.
