I have found one of the cutest books for you or your favorite crafty person! The book is One-Yard Wonders by Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins, and includes 101 sewing projects from totes and aprons, to tea cozies, laptop covers and dog beds. The book is full of photos and easy-to-follow instructions and even includes patterns for some of the projects. The best thing is that each project can be made from one yard of fabric. If you are anything like me, you have tons of "just the right fabric" lying around your house, and the projects in this book are perfect ways to showcase those fabrics in your home or as a gift for you or a friend. The book is spiral bound so it's easy to turn the pages and lay them flat while you are creating the projects. There is a handy glossary in the back of the book as well as a nice introductory section detailing sewing techniques such as types of stitches and instructions on how to make your own bias tape. Author Rebecca Yaker owns Hazel and Melvin's Room, http://www.hazelandmelvin.com/, an online boutique for which she designs and creates custom baby bedding, accessories and apparel, and author Patricia Hoskins is the cofounder of Crafty Planet, http://www.craftyplanet.com/, a retail fabric and needlework store and craft workshop in Minneapolis, MN. Together, Robecca and Patricia organize the No Coast Craft-a-Rama, an independent craft fair held every year.
