Hey girlie.. I have a lot of REAL 1930's FEED SACKS, send me pics i might be able to match the fabric and you can sew the piece over the pedal... that's what I did. and that is the same thing with the white muslin, or they used flour sack. you can cut fabric and put a hm on it or turn in under and sew over the rips.. and at the same time put the quilting pattern on the fabric so you have it.. time consuming yes but in the end it is worth it. All by hand.. no machine work. :)
