I also picked up two more on amazon because I had a gift card to use (THANKS Grandpa & Grandma!) I am learning lots form Sewing A to Z and I know I will be using it as a reference often. The second is another One Yard Wonder book, with some more cute ideas. I think I like the first one a bit more just because it has a few more things I want to sew out of it. However, I am still glad I purchased this one as well because I will want to make more of the patterns in it when I start a family.
I picked up a few more patterns since Joann's was running a nice sell on them this past week. Also, this weekend there is a 25% off your whole purchase deal for teachers. I LOVE my job and especially the discounts that stores run for those of us in the profession!
So, in other words... I am currently stocked up on supplies for several projects but I am having a hard time deciding which one I want to start with! Silly, I know but alas I am just too excited to choose!
Before I can start on new projects, I have three projects I need to complete in the next few weeks.
#1 Larger pillowcases: For my Mom, since she has larger pillows on her king size bed. We found some super cute fabric for $2 a yard!
#2 Baby gifts: I have a couple of friends that are due in April. I am (hopefully) making them some super cute things but I don't want to say too much because they just might read about it before they get them. There will be a future post on this after my friends have their gifts!
#3 Pillowcases: (since I'm a pro at those!) I am making them for different holidays. I have bought fabric for Valentines day, St. Patrick's day, Easter, and Halloween. Now I just need to make them!
Then there are THESE (below)... which are all projects I want to make too!
Top Left: Bag with pockets on the sides for water bottles and such.
Top Center: Book bag w/ a large front pocket (In much cuter fabric!) - From: One Yard Wonders
Top Right: PJ's!!! :) I bought some awesome fabric to make Pj pants for my hubby and I
Bottom Left: Plastic bag holder -From: One Yard Wonders
Bottom Middle: Aprons, simple and fancier choices
Bottom Right: Apron with pot holders built in
Now that you can see what I am so excited about, help me! Which should I try? Any experienced sewers have a suggestion for me as to which would be the easiest? I don't think any of them are overly complicated and none have evil bias tape... :) Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
