Book Review : One Metre Wonders

October 1, 2010 by Shellie Wilson

One Metre Wonders by Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Hoskins.

ISBN-13: 9780143204848

Wow this books is fantastic! it not only has 101 projects (with patterns) but it is the perfect book to have for all those designer (expensive) fabrics that are flooding the crafting world. With patterns like these that obviously only use 1 metre you can afford to use beautiful fabrics.

In just a few hours you can turn a single metre of pretty cloth into a sturdy shopping tote, a cuddly toy turtle, or any of 99 other gift-worthy items. All the pieces for sewing success are here – great patterns in a special pull – out pocket, easy instructions, and creative inspiration!

The obi belt heat pack is my favorite project.

And for those who buy fabric by the yard:

One Yard Wonders is also available. It appears to be the same book, but the measurements are likely all translated between the two.

Sewing Pattern – DIY Beach Towel Bag

If you are like me you want an easy way to carry your towel and a few items to the beach but don’t want a bag just to hold those things.

So I came up with the idea to make a beach towel bag. This way it is a bag that can hold a few items but also function as your towel. I love it! I share with you how you can make your own beach towel bag.

This is an easy sewing project that is perfect for summer! I even made a few for my kids so they each have their own. Start sewing this fun bag today.
