"Sew What?" is a 1 hour program on-site at the Prairie Acadian Cultural Center in Eunice, Louisiana. Students will learn about the cultural traditions of hand sewing in Cajun culture. Students will learn how to hand sew and make their own stocking.

What can we make from sewing? Can sewing serve as an artform in addition to utilitarian function? How do you do an invisible knot? Students will discover the answers to these questions and more with this hands on program.

To make a reservation, call (337) 457-4899 or email the park.
