More About This Book

Overview

With more than 200,000 copies in print, Storey's One-Skein Wonders series is an unqualified success. Now, for the first time in the series, fabric takes center stage! And the timing couldn't be better. Sewing machine sales have doubled over the past 10 years, and crafters are discovering the joy of another kind of stitching.

One-Yard Wonders will delight anyone who has ever fallen for fabric - from the novice sewing enthusiast to the lifelong seamstress. The book presents a delightful array of simple, stylish projects that can be made with just a single yard of fabric - from apparel to accessories, from plush toys to pet beds, from baby items to bags, and from home decor to "Happy Birthday" banners. Projects have a hip,contemporary flair, and most can be completed in a few hours. For each project, the book provides a full-color photograph, easy step-by-step instructions, and simple illustrations. Templates and pattern pieces are also included wherever needed, making this collection of 101 projects the best sewing deal ever.

Great fabric demands to be purchased, even if it's just a yard or two at a time. But such tantalizing textiles should never hide in a closet; One-Yard Wonders promises gift-worthy solutions for that stash of irresistible fabric-store buys. At last, it's time to stop storing and start sewing!

Like to sew? Want free fabric? Visit storey.com to enter Storey's Yard-of-the-Month Sweepstakes. No purchase necessary. Open to all US residents, 18 years or older. All entries must be recieved by February 28, 2010. Complete official rules posted at storey.com. Void where prohibited.

Editorial Reviews

Booklist
For both novice and accomplished sewers, this spiral-bound guide offers directions that are precisely, clearly, and buoyantly written as the authors share 101 sewing projects requiring only a yard of fabric, including apparel, toys, accessories (human and pet), dresser organizers, and stuffed animals. For each "recipe", the authors, in well-organized fashion, list necessary materials and then take the reader-crafter through clearly numbered, carefully explained directions to create a successful final product. For each project, too, a pattern schematic is matched on the opposite page with a full-color photograph of the finished project. This is a fundamental crafts book appropriate for most craft collections.
Library Journal
Lacking just a bit of the focus on lifestyle and more directed toward stand-alone shots of each project, this quirky and hip sewing book is nonetheless a great follow-up for Butler fans. Here, one yard of fabric is transformed into projects fit for teens and stylish young moms. Bright and cherry pops of color highlight a collection of quilted lunch bags, yoga mat totes, a range of pocket books, a baby tactile blanket, and a doggie bed. A fun collection presented in a cheerful style with easy-to-follow instructions.

    excellent value!

    I paid full price for this book, and it was well worth it. There are so many cute and practical projects and all can be completed with one yard of fabric and a few basic notions. I often flip through this book as inspiration for other projects, too, because there are so many different ideas in here. From storage solutions (totes, laundry bags, organizers) to kids/pet clothes and accessories to cuddlely animals, I have already created many different projects in this book.

    I think that you should have some sewing knowledge before attempting many of these projects because there is only a page or two of instructions for each. Although there is a section in the front with good explanations and tips about sewing, I found myself briefly confused with a few projects (I consider myself a novice) The instructions just aren't as detailed as I've seen in other books/patterns, but if you have some sewing knowledge and can visualize a finished product, this book offers fantastic value.

    Great idea book for all skill levels!!

    I purchased this book after hearing about it from a friend. I love it! The projects are for very useful objects. I plan on making everything in the book. This book is a good project book for all levels of sewers. A little hint: make your own patterns on heavy tissue paper for "repeat" projects. It is truly amazing what can be made from what appears to be a scrap of material!

    One of the best Craft books I've EVER purchased!

    I am a do-it-yourself type of sewer. I don't measure, follow patterns, or any of the sort. When I saw the title of this book, I thought I might check it out for dieas being that I have SO many 1 yard pieces.
    I am SO pleased with this book. Not ONLY can you get a lot of stuff made out of very little fabric, but the options are broad, VERY easy to use, is inspriational, but most of all fun!
    This book has inspired me to begin using patterns again from the ease of use.
    LOVE LOVE LOVE this book, totally worth the dollars spent AND MORE!

    Darling projects, great explanations, great photography

    The authors have given us a beautiful, fun sewing collection. The basics section will help an inexperienced seamstress get started, but the projects and the fabric choices and the photography will inspire every reader to grab their sewing kit and get to work.

    Cute idea, but doesn't live up to potential

    I consider myself an intermediate sewer. I've been sewing for close to 20 years now, primarily clothing items. I got given this book as a gift, and was pretty excited when I first saw it, but as I flipped through the ideas, I was actually really disappointed. There are almost no fresh ideas in the book, and a lot of them I wouldn't even (personal opinion) consider useful. Most of the patterns I could free-hand draft myself without much problem and in not much time. I can see this being a good idea book for beginners (although, remembering back to my beginner years, the instructions wouldn't have been anywhere CLOSE to detailed enough for me to complete the projects) but I just don't think it's worth the cost for anyone outside the beginner category. So, I give props to the authors for a solid idea, but the book just doesn't live up to the potential it has.

    Great Book for Beginners

    I bought this book to teach my daughter how to sew. We work on the projects together and she thought they were very easy to understand. I would recommend this book for beginners. The instructions are very easy to follow and walk you thru every step of the process. My daughter thought it was great. She likes to sew now.
