Redding Fashion Alliance Needs A Few Good Sewers

SteveK/Wikimedia

Baby boomers can well remember learning how to sew in home economics classes in high school. 

As society and education changed, skills like sewing got less emphasis and attention.  But sewing know-how is still in demand, as we learn from the co-directors of the Redding Fashion Alliance

Jan Kearns and Robin Fator are looking for some people who know how to sew, and interested in getting those skills taught again.  Jan and Robin tell the story of the Alliance and their plans, which includea retail store, opening Friday, February 2nd.
