can’t wait to see them finished, and lovely fabric selections!
I’m excited to see how this turns out! I have a folding chair at my desk and we use my buffet table to charge things so it’d be nice to have a little basket to put on there. I’ve got this book but I didn’t really get around to planning for these two projects yet.
I really love that you’re doing these projects. (Almost) all the gratification and none of the work!
I could use the dresser organizer and charging station around my house. I love the Greenfield Hill fabrics also. I’ve already added the book to my “wish list.”
I just love those blues in the Greenfield Hill collection.
just got this book from the library!!
Can’t wait to see the chair finished! I have just the chair to do this with…
Killer fabric choice for the slipcover project, it’s going to look amazing!
What a great project! I’ve seen the book cover but didn’t really know what the projects were … now I think I may have to further investigate this book!! Thanks!
The desk organiser looks fantastic – in fact it would be perfect for my kitchen bench. I can see I am going to have to get a copy of this book! I love the deep blues in the Denyse Schmidt material too.
I love the chair cover. We use those chairs when we have extra people over and how much nicer would they look with covers on them!
Very blue this week!
That’s going to be very pretty! Can’t wait to see it finished!
Beautiful fabrics, I cant wait to see the finished projects.
Bought the last copy of the book on Bainbridge this morning. I have already picked out two projects to do…further in the book so I can get a head start!
Trailing Orchid Blue Velvet from the Soul Blossoms collection is Yowser! Go team Go!
I am with you in Spirit.
Love the fabric for the chair cover.
The whole bunch of you are always so inspiring!
I just finished a review of this book…great book
I have this book and I love it. Glad you are trying all the projects
Just want to make sure you are checking for here for ALL THE CORRECTIONS they had to make to this book
http://www.storey.com/correct_book.php?isbn=9781603424493
It will help with your patterns! good luck
I love how “do-able” these projects are.
And many thanks to Chrissy B. for the link to the corrections.
The fabric is just beautiful. Very inspiring!
Now THAT is a clever little tray! And beautiful fabrics, too. Are y’all gonna show the finished projects??? I’d love to see!
Looking forward to see these made with such lovely fabric.
I ordered the book from Amazon and got it this week. I’m looking forward to starting on a project!
I can’t wait to see the finished slipcover. I have a folding chair at my sewing machine (I know, not the most comfortable), and I’d love to cover it with something pretty from the Kumari Garden collection
I wish I wasn’t so overloaded with other sewing commitments because I would have loved to join in on this sew along!
HA-HA, maybe since they’re “One Yard Wonders” I can start a quilt I’ll actually finish. dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
Thank you for the link Chrissy. I had no clue. Glad they own up to the mistakes and put a free fix out there for us.
I’m starting the sew-along this week since I had already made my own versions of last week’s projects long before the book was published
I love the inspiration provided from these projects.
This looks like fun and just the thing to motivate me and move me along!
One Yard Wonders is awesome. I purchased it 4-5 months ago and keep opening it for different projects. My next wonder will be the polyester stuffed animals. Woo Hoo!
You know…I am glad I am a week behind in starting my covered cork board because now I can coordinate the fabric with a chair cover!!!
Can’t wait to see how the charging station basket turns out!!!!
I love this book and wanted to try both these projects. Can’t wait to see how yours turn out.
What a great idea. Projects that only require a single yard will give many opportunities to create lovely and affordable gifts!
