This is a 'must have' book for kids that enjoy using their imagination and love Fairyland! It is an excellent book to give as a gift to a child interested in learning to create with basic sewing projects, as well as for caregivers of children that are looking for fun projects to do with them.

You can make all sorts of fairies (pretty ones, funny ones, or even scary ones.) And you can even make gnomes as well as 'treasure keeper' projects where all sorts of little treasures can be stored. Every project is perfect to keep or for a special gift.
