In January of 2011, I ordered a book called "101 One-Yard Wonders." Every pattern in the book used just one yard of fabric and could, in most cases, be completed in a day. I decided that I was going to make 50 gifts for people in 2011 using patterns from the book. On this page I chronicle my projects and the recipients of each pattern. What a fun way to rethink gift-giving and inject some creativity into life.  | |||||
