My grandmother used her white flour sacks to make sheets, course weave, seams. Now I can't stand less than 300 count sheets. She used the pretty flowered ones to make me sun suits. They fit in June,by August and time to go home she had added length,usually not matching. With her cooking there were strips up the sides .Mama got a chubbier but really happy kid at the end of the summer. :lol:
