Just a few of the projects worked on at Seaside Branch's mending circle last night! The sewing machine was used to attach a trim to a project, and a couple of other items were repaired just by hand sewing. The next mending circle will be October 7th from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. But the sewing machine is available for in branch use Tuesday through Saturday! Please call the Seaside Branch at (831) 899-8222 for more information.
