Things that are in Vogue when you only have a yard

July 9, 2008 by candi canncel

So you bought some fabulous fabric but only could afford a yard. Or you have some fantastic goods left over from a project you did eons ago.

Here are some awesome projects from Vogue Patterns that use a yard or less of fabric.

My personal favorite purse ever is the clutch! This adorable clutch that is straight outta the 80’s.

A chic little hat is a great project when you have a small amount of fabric.

Glamorous gloves are another less than a yard project.

These breezy bags are just perfect for Summer!

Or how about a tote that is great for traveling.

And lastly, these vintage hats look right off the streets of Paris and use just under a yard!

Honestly, I never thought of sewing gloves either! But I am definitely gonna try them now. They are so chic!

Have you read?

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
