Tiny worlds in fabric Sew enchanting fairy houses & miniature masterpieces

Color, whimsy, and charming vintage looks are on every page of this sewing tutorial created by Jauniskis, a fiber artist known for her 3-D art. While the focus is on fairy-inspired miniatures, there are many crossover projects, including furniture, clothing, and even toilet paper. The introduction has several general tips for constructing the projects and for working with the various materials (including paint) used by the author. Each section contains detailed instructions, templates, and pictures of the finished projects. Beginning machine sewists might find the size of the materials intimidating, but the author often embraces imperfections as adding uniqueness. Those who grew up reading "The Tales of Pixie Hollow" series will find the same magic of those tiny worlds in these designs. VERDICT Libraries with an already established machine sewing collection will find this an enchanting title to have available as a next read for their patrons. This is a fun resource for beginners to use to learn and practice new skills and for seasoned sewists to try something different.--Elizabeth Chandler
