Faux Hexagon Quilt Hobo Bag
When I found a canvas hobo bag on clearance at the craft store I knew that I wanted to make it the perfect beach bag.
What you need:
Canvas hobo bag
Vintage inspired fabrics
Embroidery floss & needle (optional)
Running glue all over the backside of your hexagons, begin gluing them into place on your bag. I left the edges of my hexagons free so that when I wash my bag they will fray and age for a faux vintage look! You can do the same, or run the glue all the way to the edges to seal them from fraying and attach them down onto the bag completely.
Now when I was a kid my favorite quilt was a super old rag quilt. There were hardly two squares the same fabric and they were all stitched down with varying colors of thread. It was truly a rag quilt. Anything that didn't have a use got put to good use. Most of the stitches were red. Though my fabric had very little red in it I went ahead and stitched red and some royal blue in homage of that favorite quilt!
This step is totally optional, as the squares are permanently applied to the bag already. Should you like the look of the stitching, a simple backstich around each hexi will add to this perfectly quilted boho look!
