One Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Projects
I have been just itching to share this with you! Have you seen the new craft book: “One Yard Wonders“?
Following on from the success of the book “One Skein Wonders“, Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins have put together this wonderful craft book full of simple projects that you can sew up using just one yard of fabric.
I got my copy in the mail today and I can honestly say that this is already one of my favourite craft books. There are 101 projects covering household decoration and storage, craft organisation, on-the-go storage, clothing for adults and kids, bags, accessories, kids toys and even sweet craft projects for your favourite pet! The front of the book covers all areas of sewing fundamentals.
I am also thrilled because I have one project in this book!
Now you can make your very own Peg Bear using just one (actually only a 1/2) yard of your favourite fabric! :-)
Other projects from the book that I really like -
Adorable elephant by Sarah Faix:
Toddler dress by Rachael Theis:
Folklore bag by Lauren Booth:
Kitschy apron by Mother’s Apron Strings:
and laptop sleeve by Becka Rahn:
If you like to sew (no matter what skill level) this will be a great addition to your library, especially if you are keen to make quick-to-sew gifts this Christmas. If you know someone who likes to sew, this book would make a fantastic Christmas gift!
You can buy the book over at Amazon, or if you’re in Australia, you can now find it stocked online at Fishpond.
Congratulations to Rebecca and Patricia for the great job that they’ve done putting this book together and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be involved!

Wow Jhoanna! The entire book looks fabulous, you are really in some good company! :)
I just wanted to pass this along, Barnes and Noble has a special edition of the book, with 5 extra projects in it. I snapped mine up right away! (But it’s Black Friday in the U.S., so I bought mine online- I would rather wait a few days to get it than brave the hordes of shoppers!)

After reading your blog I just made an impulse buy and bought the book from Amazon. Can’t wait to get stuck into some projects once all this Christmas chaos has cleared.

Oh oh another craft book to covet. Unfortunately, craft books are way too expensive here in good ol’ Philippines.

Congrats on the book! I know the dress isn’t your project but Esme says ‘hi girl’ to the picture – and she made me come back to see it again.
