A special memory
by Jane Millette
For Christmas that year (59 years ago), my grandmother made her a wardrobe - 2 corduroy dresses, a flannel nightgown to match the one she made for me, a long "party dress" with its own slip, and a wool coat with a fur collar and hat. She cut the fur from her own coat, I later discovered. The pockets on the corduroy dresses were just big enough for a silver dime. I later made her a couple of dresses, trying out new sewing techniques. Today, Christmas Eve 2009, I was able to replace her rubber bands and she is once again able to be played with. I still have all the clothes, too. Click here to read or post comments.
