They carried feed (chicken and cow feed) in these sacks. Like the other person said, they came in different patterns and colors. Mama would try to get enough of each pattern and color to make our clothes. When I was in the 6th grade, she made me a dress that I thought was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. "All from feedsacks" I still have some of the feedsacks from way back then. The fabric lasts forever.
