We will be teaching 30 students how to make pattern darning bookmarks on April 4th.

We need the following:

  • Ribband (the chapter is donating this)
  • Perle Cotton 8 in red, gold, black (school colors)
  • Tapestry needles size 22
  • Time to help put kits together or help at the workshop itself

If you are able to help, please email webmistress@muchasmanos.org.

The Mira Mesa library has said they would welcome our work to use as incentives for reading contests that they have. So dig in your stash and find those strips of fabric that you couldn’t toss but haven’t found a use for yet because now you have one. Even better, if you have some Ribband then all you need to do is stitch and the finishing is practically done. Bookmarks are quick to stitch and free bookmark charts can be found on Pinterest . Let’s all commit to making at least one bookmark in the next few months. Follow along on our Pinterest board.
