There are so many things to make with one yard! In my shop, I’ve made diaper covers, totes, zippered pouches, pillow cases, aprons, check book covers, doggie coat, ipod & cell phone cases… to name a few!
I love making baby blankets and burp pads.
Project bags, zippered pouches and coin purses…a girl can never have too many!
Tote bags, pillows, small kids clothes, lamp shades….the possibilities are endless!
One yard (or less) of fabric? Back in the 60′s, this made a cool mini skirt (often one a week). Just a front and a back, and two seams, a facing and a hem, and I would WIGGGGGLLLLLEEE into it. Ah!!! Happy days.
Now I can do things with all the extra yards of fabric in my stash!!!!!
I have so many favorites, so it’s really hard for me to pick which project using just one yard of fabric, so I’ll just have to list them all…..Baby Quillows, cloths for my grand daughter & her dolls, dish towel toppers, (one yard will make several) handbags, diaper bags, pillows, place mats, & stuff toys. I love to sew & I’m always looking for quick projects that require 1 yard of fabric or less, to make manley for my gift giving. So For that reason alone, I would love to be a winner of one the one yard wonders book.
Tote bags, scarves, pillows, dog jackets!
Napkins are always good, if it’s cotton fabric. Travel clutches are handy — small bags to keep small stuff organized! Shoe bags also very handly — works better with the slinkier fabrics — shoes slide in and out better.
Skirts for my little girl, pillows, and tote bags!
purses, aprons, anything crafty…would love new ideas !!!!
Skirts for my daughter.
I’m stuck on purses/bags, coins purses, etc. I’d love some new ideas! Would love to win!
I love making sundresses for my grandaughters!!! A yard is just perfect. I add a ruffle of a matching color, or lace, or whatever I find, and for shoulder straps I use ribbon, bias tape, or…… Also like sewing for my twin grandsons, they are tiny and a yard of material goes a long way!!!
I love to make things for my little girl. Skirts, doll diapers, and baby quilts.
I like sewing all types of things. I would love to have the book!
Pillowcases for KonkerCancer. One yard is the perfect amount to make a cheery pillowcase for a child’s hospital stay. And you get to play with so much beautiful fabric!

Pillowcases.

I think my new favorite will be making ponchos from a yard of fleece!! Before it was a purse or tote.
How exciting! I have the other book and love it. I made the lunch bag, last week, from the the other book. Love these easy, fun projects.
I love to make small personal zippered pouches/bags. Everyone needs one or more and they make great gifts!
Yoga bag! I just made one from the first One Yard Wonders book.

I like to make all kinds of bags, bags, bags!!!!
I don’t have a real favorite, I just Love to sew, and sew, and sew.!
I love finding new projects, and making as many different things as I can.
Aprons!! My current passion is making vintage look (40′s, 50′s….) aprons. Everyone seems to love them. This book could lend new inspiration. Sounds wonderful.
I love to make anything at all that I can get out of a yard of fabric. From wallets to pillows to receiving blankets for babies. Give me a yard of fabric and I will give you a gift!

I like to make purses, totebags, or binder covers. Thanks!!
I love making little girls skirts, dresses, pants, appliques, bags, snappy bag sets for gifts, coiled baskets, pillows, burp cloths, and scrap blankets. I have more ideas than time. Didn’t have time to sew for years, now I can’t get enough of it.
