I wish feed still came in cotton sacks, I would use them for everything in the poem (maybe excepting the parachute for the cat!) and quilting besides. Modern feed sacks are still sewn up with string, however, and I do save the string.
I bet you could make braided rugs with them to use outside by your doors.
That's a great idea! I've seen placemats made out of woven strips of plastic grocery bags, but I never thought of trying to use the feed bags that way. I'm going to cut one into strips to see what happens.
