In the late 70's and early 80's we had chickens and my husband would bring home the chicken feed in the cloth feed sacks. They would be sewn together and when they were empty I would sit outside and take out the stitching and shake them out vigorously and then wash them. I still have some and the stitching holes are still in them. I assume that the prints were reproductions of the older ones. The fabric on mine are coarse also.
