UAB's Community Health Innovation Awards

Today marks a very special transition for the Sew-Op. We competed as one of nine finalists in UAB's Community Health Innovation Awards (forever fondly known to us as CHIA) and were granted $13,000 for our project, Woodlawn Sewing Training: a pilot program to develop a curriculum of sewing skills. We have identified a client with a working prototype that needs refinement and will share all of the details soon. Plan to hear a lot more out of us here on our blog as one of our promises was to keep the community abreast of our progress as the training unfolds.
