Book Review & GIVEAWAY - One-Yard Wonders

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED - CONGRATS LINDA!

OneYd
101 Sewing Projects
One-Yard Wonders
by Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins
I was sent this marvelous book to review from Story Publishing- it is really more of a treasury for us fabric collectors. I tend to buy just a yard of a new fabric when I'm going on a shopping spree and then end up regretting it because I don't always have as much fabric as I need. Well, no more worries!! I LOVE all these delicious projects and I know you will, too!!

Here's a small sample of the offerings:

Kids Convertible Craft Apron
OneYd1

Girls Flouncy Bag
OneYd2

Quilted Lunch Bag
OneYd3

All-You-Need Sewing Kit
OneYd4

Kitschy Kitchen Apron
OneYd5

Festive Flag Banners
OneYd6


I'm happy to have the publisher send out a copy of this fun sewing book to ONE WINNER.

Hi Shawnee! I'm fist? Let's see. From what you've shown, the sewing kit would be the first thing I would like to make. I love how it holds the thread spools. It would make a great gift.
I follow you here and on Flirty Apron Swap. And I just cast my vote for your blog on topmommyblogs.
This book sure would come in handy as I also tend to buy a yard of fabric when I find something I love but don't know what I'm going to make. Thanks for a chance (or is it 4 chances?) to win this book.

It's so hard to choose just one project! - I love bags and I have a new love of aprons! I'd have to go with the Flouncy Bag first and then the Kitschy Kitchen Apron.
I've been wanting this book!
Thanks for the chance to win.
