I just received my copy of One Yard Wonders. It's a compilation by Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins of sewing projects contributed by sewers from all over the Interwebs . . . including me. The idea is that each project in the book can be made with a single yard of fabric.
I even made the back cover!
It's a spiral-bound book with full-size patterns. Yay!
Here's a photo of my project. It's a version of the charging station basket made with a single fabric. The book includes lots of other projects: home dec items, baby gifts, simple clothing, bags. With 101 different projects, there's a little of everything.
Storey Publishing is having a yard-of-the-month sweepstakes on their blog, which you can check out here.
This looks like a fabulous book Elizabeth.... I can't wait to get one! :)
XO, Heather
