I'm a big fan of the One-Skein Wonders and One-Yard Wonders series of books from Storey Publishing. The latest book, Little One-Yard Wonders: Irresistible Clothes, Toys, and Accessories You Can Make for Babies and Kids, is no exception.The projects are varied and include some some surprisingly complex clothing. Detailed instructions for each project include cutting layouts and everything else you'll need to figure them out.If my own boys were just a tiny bit younger, I'd be making a pair of Secret Monster Overalls. They've got a hidden tail and claws! I don't know if I'd have been motivated enough to sew my kids their own underwear, but after trying to find some without cartoon characters that my boys had never heard of, I can definitely see the appeal.The Frannie Fox Hot & Cold Pack is beyond adorable. I think I want one for myself.Indoor hopscotch? I want that, too.This collection would be a great way for an ambitious mama to tackle some new skills, like smocking and clothing construction. I'm thinking a shower gift for a crafty mama.... Or it would be a fantastic resource for someone who likes to make handmade gifts. The projects span a wide range of ages and interests.Disclosure -- the publisher provided me with an electronic review copy.
I was very disappointed that the dress I bought this book for was only given in a size 2 pattern. I needed a 4. I wasn't near as impressed with the projects in this book as I was the One Yard Wonder fabric to fabric.
Little One-Yard Wonders is so creative and adorable! I found myself wanting to do make every project. I love that you only need a yard of fabric to complete them and there are so many projects that are perfect for gifts or your own home and family. If you love to sew, or even if you are just starting out, I would highly recommend this book! The patterns are very easy to read and everyone will love the projects you create.*i received a free digital copy of this book from the publisher.*
This book is incredible. My daughter is 14 months old and I can find literally dozens of things in here that I can make for her right now, and dozens more that I'll make once she's bigger! I love the way the book is laid out, the clear pictures, and the simple instructions. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a book to get them started sewing for a little person!
All the patterns are in the front of the book. The book is well laid out with great pictures and the instructions are easy to follow. And because the projects are so small, you can do several and not get overwhelmed. Would be great for a sewing grandparent for grandchildren or a great source of projects for an Etsy store.
I discovered One Yard Wonders after my daughter purchased it and made a few things, so I snapped up this book when it became available on Netgalley. My original intent was to make a few things to take pictures for my blog, but you know how plans go when you are a crafter, right?This book is great for beginning sewers, moms and grandmas (or aunties) who want to make things for the little ones. The amount of fabric/notions used makes the items very affordable, and (in spite of my own experience) take little enough time you can actually finish them while the child is small enough to fit/enjoy them!A must have book for anyone who often needs a quick, personal gift for baby showers! I've already snagged a copy for my daughter.ARC provided through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I love the one yard wonders books! There are so many great projects in here for anyone with little ones around. From basics, like sheets and undies, to more complicated projects like tops with shirring and stuffed toys, even a playhouse, there is something for everyone and every ability level. I have already made several of the projects in this book and will definitely be making more! I can't wait to see what the next one yard wonder is!
Title: Little One Yard Wonders - Irresistible Clothes, Toys and Accessories You Can Make For Babies and Kids.Author: Patricia Hoskins & Rebecca YakerPublished: 5-14-14Publisher: Story PublishingPages: 360Genre: Crafts, Hobbies and HomeSub Genre: Needlecrafts & Textiles Crafts; Fashion; SewingISBN: 9787612121246Reviewer: DelAnneReviewed For: NetGalleyMy Rating: 5 Stars.I always have fabric left over as I usually by extra in case of mistake in cutting or stitching. So Little One Yard Wonders is perfect for using up all those little pieces which sometimes is not enough to use for other crafts such as quilts. Many of us know or know of someone who is either expecting or has recently had a baby. Perhaps you work with local hospitals, shelters or churches to provide items for newborns, babies, and toddlers of families in need due to finances or perhaps fire. Little One Yard Wonders provides some beautiful ideas on what to do with those pieces. Some require less than a yard or you can combine coordinating pieces to make a dress or outfit. There are patterns for use in the kitchen, nursery, even layette items. With clear concise instructions and photos to guide you will enjoy all the wonderful items you can create for yourself or to give as gifts. My rating is 5 out of 5 stars.
