Patchwork Play: A Gretna studio where kids build one-of-a-kind hats, headbands and pouches.
At Be Creative in Gretna, the Kids Patch Party turns a birthday into a hands-on design studio: for two hours children choose an item—hats, headbands, socks or a pouch—and personalize it with three patches and unlimited embellishments amid a lively, supervised atmosphere complete with pizza and juice.
