The coat grandma made


Here is my Mom - she was about 3 years old.

The coat and hat that she is wearing were made
for her by her mother out of an old coat that belonged to
either Mom's dad or grandpa.

Old coats, pants & dresses were always put to
good use by sewing garments for the children.
I have a quilt that my grandmother made out
of old trousers that belonged to grandma.

The man in the background is Clarence Synstelien.
Mom said that he was teasing her and that
was why she doesn't look too happy in this picture.
