Fabric store opens in Seneca

Chris Cozad, owner of Cris-Cross Sewing, pulls out a bolt of cotton by-the-yard, which she has started selling, along with fleece by-the-yard, inside Dapa Decor in the old Cranberry High School.

A local business is stepping in to help fill a void and starting to sell fabric by the yard.

Cris-Cross Sewing, now located inside the Dapa Decor store in the old Cranberry High School at 224 S. Main Street in Seneca, started stocking bolts of cotton and fleece fabric about two weeks ago, with hopes of adding more in the future.
