This week our librarians are sharing their hobbies, with some book suggestions from our displays if you want to have a go. Here is Katie: “ At the weekend I enjoy sewing and trying to make my own clothes. Sometimes you’ll see me wandering around the library shelving journals in a dress I made.”

A Graphic with the text Katie: Dressmaking. There are 2 photos, one of Katie with a sewing machine, and one of Katie showing off a dress in a mirror. In the corner is the Try Something New StickerThe text reads: Book Suggestions: Sewing for dummies, Make and Mend, DIY Fashion. At the bottom are the covers of DIY fashion and Make and Mend
