Mid-City Library
Programming SpaceLearn the basics of sashiko embroidery, and use the running stitch to create geometric designs on a canvas zipper pouch. Registration is recommended. Walk-ins are welcome for any remaining space.
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 10:40am, then released to those waiting in person.

In 2016, Mid-City Library relocated to The Automotive Life Insurance Company Building. Built in 1963, this mid-century modern gem was designed by Curtis & Davis Architects, who are also known for designing the Superdome and the Main Library on Loyola Ave. In 2010, the building was recognized as a historic landmark by the New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission.
