So I got the book one yard wonders for christmas, well I actually got two of them, and i kept both, and well its a long story so anyways. I had a plan to do one of these projects before I go back to school in Plymouth for my last semester as an Undergrad math student. meaning in a mere 4 months i will have a BS in Mathematics, with a 5-8 teacher cert. option!
Anyways so I really liked the Planner sleve tutorial., and realized it didn't need one yard, only a fat quarter. So I chose do to that one. It was pretty fun and easy, the only part i had trouble with was the bias tape. I have yet to master how to put that on. So on to the pictures:
This is the front with it closed, its something new for me not using bright colors!
This is the back view:
And this is the view of it open:
I'm not sure what to put into yet because I don't have a planner, Any ideas?
And on to the giveaway!!!!!
Here is what I am going to giveaway:
Its an idea I found here, very clever. Its a little mason jar that i turned into a cute little sewing kit with a pin cushion on the top. Here is a view of everthing on the inside:
It comes with; little sissors, a measureing tape, needles, needle threader, a few buttons, some thread, a few saftey pins, and I'm sure there are some things that are in there that I am forgetting, And i might put in a few extra buttons from my collection, or a headband, it will be a surprise!

Great projects. Really pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Cute idea with the mason jar! Bias tape is not very fun. It seems like no matter what you do - you miss it here and there. I guess you are supposed to sew one side with right sides together first - with the tape open - and then top stitch it however, when you do it on the project you are using it on - you'll see all sides so it's not as forgiving if you screw up. Wish I had better advice...keep practicing!
Very pretty! Love the planner sleeve. Would be great to hold a journal, too, or even just a notebook for making lists, etc. Love the little sewing kit, too. That would make a great gift for someone just learning to sew. :-)
Oh so very cute. Love it!
