Summary: What is this?
Organization: AT&T
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1992 15:44:33 GMT

I got a flyer in the mail yesterday for the "In Stitches" conference.
It says "... arrives for the first time in the United States" ... has
anyone out there heard of this before somewhere else?

For those interested (I don't know what this is, so this in not a "plug"
for this), here are some facts:  Oct 8,9,10 (Thurs-Sat) in Southfield, MI
(near Detroit, I guess).  Phone number for registration (maybe you can
get the brochure this way, too) 1-800-594-9029.  Cost is based on admission
of $8 per day ($5 student/seniors), and seminar cost of $15.  Package
prices of $50 for 3-day pass and 4 seminars, $125 "Super Sewers" pass
for 3-days and 11 seminars. 

Seminar titles and teachers:  (I'm going to go ahead and post this
right away, otherwise I may end up with a mailbox full of questions about
who is teaching what.)  All seminars are given all three days.

(What a data dump.  Good thing I can type fast.)

There is also a fashion show of historical dress "100 Years of the Fashionable
Woman".  I get the impression that there is a trade-show type thing there
in addition to the seminars, but that's not clear from the brochure.
Anyway, I thought it looked interesting, but IF I'm going all the way to
Detroit I'd like to hear from others who have attended something like
this before.
