Fabric-by-Fabric: One-Yard Wonders

It's January, so what better time to begin a new hobby!  Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins have published a nifty new book full of 101 sewing projects that you can complete using one yard of fabric.  The list of fabrics that can be used include cottons, knits, voiles, corduroy, fleece, flannel, home decors, oilcloth, wool and many others.  Titled Fabric-by-Fabric:  One-Yard Wonders, the book has pattern pieces included and each project contains step-by-step instructions with a list of materials and a description of each project.  I especially enjoy the diagrams which show how each piece should be cut from each yard of cloth.  My favorite project (of course) is the Hanging Book Display on page 135.  The project is a great way to show off both your favorite fabric and your favorite children's picture books.  The display hangs on a wall and has small pockets that allow most of the book covers to be on display.  There are also clothes, scarves and game projects included in this handy book.  If you are crafty or love to sew, make sure you check this item out!
