This is my mom, Sallie, having lunch al fresco in California a few weeks ago.
In the 1960's, Mom was quite a seamstress. (How she had time to sew with 4 kids, I will never understand.) She made felt stockings for all of us. Every Christmas Eve, she stuffed them full of peppermints, toys, See's chocolates and small treasures. Then she gave Santa all the credit. My stocking hangs from our mantel every December.
When my angel started losing her hair, Mom glued some white yarn on her head and called it good.
A teddy bear in white tie!
Inspired by Mom, I made felt stocking for my kids too. I'll show you those next week.***Scroll down to my previous post for details on a Vintage Christmas Giveaway***
