So this is the great book I am talking about:
 |
| Fabric-by-Fabric One-Yard Wonders |
Fabric-by-Fabric One-Yard Wonders is a sequel to a very popular One-Yard Wonders published in 2009. I have to admit I had never heard of the first book before I was contacted by the authors, to have one of my projects included in the second book. I have since gathered that the first OYW book was a huge success, and this second version has been long-awaited by many!
When I recieved my book I was shocked at how fat it is! Not only does it have 101 quite amazing projects, it has an envelope with all the patterns in the front!The projects are categorized by the type of fabric used, and it ranges from cotton to fleece to oilcloth/laminated fabrics to stretch knit. I love the variety this book has.
And, of course, this was very, very weird to see.... in the back of the book, along with all the other contributors, there I was!
The design I had included in this book is the wrapshirt I designed for a Spoonflower contest a couple years ago. It won the SF contest back then (see my blog post here), and I assume it was from the attention back then that the One-Yard Wonder people found it! Yay!
Here are some other projects I love from the book...
The ONE YARD POUF! How smart is this...? Can't wait to make this. And I see they used IKEA fabric - which is super smart, since they sell home decor weight fabric for under $10/yard. Can't get much cheaper than that.
Nice & clever bag...
And this bag is sewn with my favoritest fabric... Echino by Kokka.. So I had to include it.
It sure is great to see people love your design & I feel honored to have my wrapshirt actually get published! Thank You to Storey Publishing and Rebecca & Trish for all the work and correspondence throughout the making of this book!
Many other bloggers included in this book have been posting already - but there are still more to come, for more chances in the giveaways! Here is a list of more posts to come..
