Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique that uses a simple running stitch to create intricate, geometric patterns. It is often used to decorate, mend, and reinforce fabric. We'll map out our designs on a grid, and then stitch them onto a canvas zipper pouch. Supplies will be provided. Beginners welcome.
Registered spots will be held until 4:40pm, then released to those waiting in person.

About the branch
Milton H. Latter Memorial Library is located on St. Charles Avenue. The 1907 neo-Italianate mansion was generously donated to the city by the Latter family to serve as a library in memory of their son. Today the branch offers programs for all ages as well as reading rooms, computers, printers, and wi-fi.
