About this ebook
Transform your fabric scraps into beautiful gifts for friends and family with this easy-to-follow guide from an award-winning sewing guru.
In Half Yard Gifts, you’ll find 22 projects to sew and give away, each made using less than half a yard of fabric. The book contains gifts for all your family and friends: the projects range from pincushions, bags, and paperweights to aprons for budding chefs, kneeling pads for gardeners, and tool belts for DIY-enthusiasts. The projects are made in a range of prints and styles and use a range of techniques: either follow each project closely, or adapt the size and fabric to suit the recipient. Debbie gives advice on how to customise the projects, so that you can create the perfect gift for your loved one.
This book is perfect for those who are new to sewing and need some guidance with the basic techniques and key information, as Debbie’s friendly advice and clear step-by-step photography make it a doddle. But it’s also packed with fresh ideas and designs that will inspire you even if you’re an experienced sewer and are looking for a way to use up your stash and create meaningful gifts that your loved ones will treasure.
