Participants learn how to use a sewing machine and then sew their very own library tote bag to take home, so they leave with something finished and useful. It is a good fit for crafty tweens who have never used a machine, as well as kids who have tried hand-sewing and want to move on to a real machine. The workshop meets in the Youth Services Programming Room on the Tuesday after Christmas, a handy activity on a day off from school, and registration is required. ## Similar picks in Boston - [Crafternoon: New Year's Eve Edition — Chinatown Library](https://grassyknees.com/boston/activities/crafternoon-new-year-s-eve-edition-chinatown-library--listing-88b0d8de26748da5dcbaa260) — Thu, Dec 31 · 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM · Boston Public Library, Chinatown Branch · Up to 18 · Free · checked Oct 16.
