Learn how to tat

Learn how to tat in a free program Monday, Sept. 12, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Tatting is an old craft used to make a type of lace. It has experienced numerous periods of popularity, including during Victorian times and the 1950s and ’60s. Tatting can be a very fulfilling hobby and is easy to learn. Tatting designs are elegant, dainty and useful. Projects include doilies, runners, collars, table covers, handkerchiefs, pillow edgings and more.
