<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Half Yard Gifts is the latest title from sewing guru Debbie Shore, and the next book in her best-selling half yard series - if you loved Half Yard Home and Half Yard Heaven, then this book is for you. It contains 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. <p/>This book would be perfect if you 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've been a keen sewer for many years and are just looking for a new way to use up your stash and create meaningful gifts that your loved ones will treasure.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Library Journal 2015</b><br>'Tis the season for gift sewing, and Shore's latest is a collection of easy-to-sew projects using a half yard (or less) of fabric. Most of the projects are frilly and feminine or whimsical and child-friendly, with ribbon, lace, and button trims, and quilting cotton featuring prominently. They're the type of projects that don't require body measurements, making it easy to whip up a few to give as last-minute or hostess gifts. The majority are home-decor related, including an oilcloth-covered garden kneeler, a door stop shaped like a handbag, a throw pillow featuring a slashed-fabric design, and a cupcake-shaped pot holder. The directions are given in short steps with photos of key points. Photos of the finished projects abound as well. Patterns are not included, which isn't problematic because most of the projects highlight shapes that are simple to cut. Directions for creating custom templates are included as needed. <b>VERDICT Gift sewing is popular, and there's a wide range of projects here.
