The brother of Westport’s Martha Stewart said today he plans to sell on eBay some of her belongings that date back to childhood.
Among them: A Singer sewing machine used by Stewart to sew her wedding dress in 1961.
Frank Kostyra, 59, who lives in the Alabama community of Fairhope near Mobile, said he got the items in 1987 from their mother with Stewart’s
“blessings’’ and hoped to have more than 200 items posted on the eBay site by tonight.
While Stewart awaits sentencing June 17 for her conviction in a stock sale case, Kostyra said he’s selling the items partly to raise money for a self-published book, “My Life with Martha The Making of Martha Stewart.’’
