Does anyone know a seamstress in the Decatur area? I need to hire someone to make Ben's Red Raider mascot costume by the 1st or 2nd week in August. I have the pattern....

Call David Sloan 256-654-4627 that made the first DHS mascot costume for the first mascot Ronnie Sams in '66 and '67. He has pictures.

Annette Lincoln is by far the very best!

Liz Brown is a whiz with sewing too? I think she is much better as a nurturer to preschool children.
Steve W. replied:
