      Synopsis

      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!

      This Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition includes five bonus projects prepared especially for B&N customers by Storey Publishing and authors Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins. The bonus projects include:

      • Baby Doll Carrier
      • Clothespin Bag
      • Bicycle Duffle Bag
      • Olivia the Owl Pillow Pal
      • Cat Crinkle Sack
      That's a total of 106 projects at the same low price as the regular edition!

      January 23, 2010: A lot of interesting projects. Great designs. I've already made one of the projects and the instructions were easy to follow with the help of useful illustrations.

      January 16, 2010: Though there are many projects in this book that can be found elsewhere, it is nice to have all of them in one place. Great stash-buster projects. My one complaint is that there is no need for another apron pattern - I think that we've seen enough of these! Great ideas for gift-giving
