So You Sew Yourself?
In the 1950’s, when I was in High School, I took three (3) semesters of sewing, and if I say so myself, was wearing the clothes I made. Decided to make a fitted Cape (reversible) for early “Fall” weather. Just the quick grab and go!
This particular evening, the “Veiled Prophet” Parade marches through the St.Louis area and my Father and Mother want me to go along, as this night we were also going to see what was going on at “Gaslight Square”. Just make an evening of checking out as many places that you hear “everyone” talking about and if the entertainment is as good as advertised?
After finding a good place to park the car, hurry to find a good location to watch the “Parade” go by! Finally in a very good viewing spot, and the evening air is just a little on the “brisk” side – I maneuver my arms inside the “Cape”, in such a way, that the “Cape” is tight and very close and I’m warm! It wasn’t too long and I was just about to open the “Cape”, as I was now getting too warm, when I heard, “Mom that woman doesn’t have any arms!” I just stood like a statue!
