Youth at the Cove City Library have been sewing for quite a while now and with the return of fall programming, they are ready to create new and amazing projects! They already they have created scented rice bags that can be microwaved and used as stress-relievers! Always up for a new challenge, they are starting an embroidery project where youth will learn how to make detailed stitches and create amazing art!

Craven-Pamlico Sewing
Youth in the Craven-Pamlico Sewing program (that meets at the Pamlico Extension Office) have gotten off to a great start with a project that they finished in one 2-hour period! Youth cut out, stitched and created their own unique needle books that will be able to hold any needles or pins they use for their future projects. We are excited to see the next things they will create!
