When I was just a girl in the 30's my mother made dresses and panties to match for all four of us girls, My dad was a miner in the foothills of Calif, working at a gold mine for $30.00 a month, so mama made our clothes from the flour sacks that the flour came in, I have a pillow case full of the old original flour sack material , plan on making a log cabin quilt out of it as well as using muslin for it too :lol:
