Crowell Public Library in San Marino is highlighting a little stitch with a big impact.

By Melanie Hooks

Learn the elegance of visible mending using the Japanese technique of Sashiko. Sashiko, or little stabs, is a single line style stitching technique that adds beautiful patterns to fabric while also patching holes or giving things a little extra flair.

No experience necessary, all techniques will be shown during the class. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Registration is required.
