    There is a new place to source all your materials for sewing projects in South Bend.  Rubys' Remnants & More inside the Casaday Costume Company is offering material remnants and so much more.  Courtney had a chance to tour the selection with Greta Fisher, and maybe even came away with ideas for some projects she could create.  www.casadaycostume.org
