ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) — Looking for a new hobby to learn this year? The Tompkins County Public Library (TCPL) is offering ‘Learn to Sew One-on-One’ classes every Monday during January 2026.

From 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on January 5th, January 12th, January 19th, and January 26th, sewing beginners can receive an instructional introduction to the parts, threading, and basic uses of a sewing machine.
