Hand-Made: Hand-Made Crafternoon: December 17, 2011.

Join crafty librarian Jessica Pigza of the Rare Book Division and Crafternoon author Maura Madden for a free DIY day at the Library.  We'll be joined by special guest Brett Bara, author of Sewing in a Straight Line, and she'll show us how to stitch up a little felt bowl or a holiday ornament. And I'll select a variety of inspiring books from the Library's collections for browsing fun as well.
