It is early Sunday morning and I getting such a sweet history lesson on what REAL life was like in the 30-40's. I know that my grandmother saved feed sacks because in the mid-fifties she made me a dress that I still long to have back. Simple little girl dress, cream, likely muslin, bodice with a little round collar and a full skirt of yellow printed feed sack. I keep looking in the "re-production print" sections of any store I stop at in hopes of finding this fabric. No luck yet but it holds a deep memory for me of my grandmother and her efforts to bless me with a charming little garment for school.
Thank you everyone for your feed sack stories. I am richer because of your family tales.
