For the past few Christmas seasons, I've been re-creating a Fitzgerald classic: The Giant Red Stocking. In honor of Aunt Bobbie, I am carrying on the tradition of the Giant Red Stocking for the next generation of Fitzgeralds. (Our population seems to be growing each year.) The only problem is that I've had to track down the same materials that Aunt Bobbie started using over 30 years ago. Luckily, red and white felt is readily available. She used a particular type of white thread though to sew the blanket stitch around the edges. The hand-sewn sequins were hiding in the back of a hidden rack at Jo-Ann's this weekend. I almost gave up on those mini-sequins...all necessary to "seamlessly" recreate these classic stockings.
