Reddit reviews One-Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Projects; Look How Much You Can Make with Just One Yard of Fabric!

I have this book: http://www.amazon.com/One-Yard-Wonders-Sewing-Fabric-Projects/dp/1603424490/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344757073&sr=8-1&keywords=one+yard+fabric+projects because I have a problem with buying single yards..I haven't made anything out of it but I have plans to!

I started out by sewing potholders and burp-rags -- rectangles and squares are definitely the easiest things to sew. I can send you the tutorials that I use when I get home (they're save to my favorites). I use Pinterest quite a bit to come up with ideas. I also bought [this One Yard Wonders book] (https://www.amazon.com/Publishing-One-Yard-Wonders-Patricia-Hoskins/dp/1603424490/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484607417&sr=8-1&keywords=one+yard+wonders), but I haven't made anything from it yet.

I love the book One Yard Wonders. It has a great variety of projects, from cute plushies to clothes for grown-ups and kids to household items. Plus, it includes all the pattern pieces. It's really good for beginners, but not so simple that your friend would get bored with it.

I like the book "One Yard Wonders" - http://www.amazon.com/One-Yard-Wonders-Sewing-Fabric-Projects/dp/1603424490/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322711978&sr=8-1

also, check out http://sew4home.com/ - i made a lot of patterns from this site, it's a great source!

I have this book: One yard wonders And it is awesome. Full of simple projects. Clear instructions on sewing basics. A lot of the projects are very cute.

I don't know my model number by heart either... Hm youtube videos have helped me loads too! And books! I got this one and it's proven quite helpful and fun. Maybe you could get one on quilts if that's what you wish to do?

Thanks! The bags are out of this book which has some really cute projects in it.
