what do they look like, the sacks? WE cleaned out the OLD family home last weekend and I found two, what looked like pillow casesbut were sewen on the wrong side. Looked like sheets with the finished edge and border and then scattered flowers thoughout the rest of the material. We also found 4 dresses from the 30-40's in great condition. I washed them and one ended up with a couple of holes in them. One still had the tag on it it. The waist was soooooo tiny. I also found a quilt top that was in the great, great grandmothers trunk, only one piece had holes and wll need tobe replaced. All hand sewen and very scrappy. I will have to take a picture and post it one day.
