This has been a wonder trip down Memory Lane. I remember making those puzzles with string and a button. I used the3 biggest I could find. I would play with it until I had broken the string and retied it so much it wouldn't work any longer. I believe the string I used what what came out when taking the string out of the feed sack so it could be washed and ironed. Yes, I wore many of those dresses too. Dried dishes on the white ones. Chicken feed came with a label glued onto a white sack that soaked off real easy. I hemmed a lot of them for my mom to use as dish towels.
