Beautiful feed sack fabric. I have purchased a few yards but have to trust the person selling as I am not that knowledgeable to trust myself yet that I have an authentic feed sack fabric.
|
Great fabrics and a great bargain too.
|
I would have bought it too, lovely patterns and colors. Let us see what you make, it will be beautiful.

Wow, that is really pretty! So happy for you as this will make a very nice quilt.

Another feedsack dress wearer here. With fabric rationed in WWII, a pretty print dress was welcome. My Grandmother was an accomplished seamstress, so it wasn't a problem.

Lovely feedsacks, I don't blame you for wanting even more! I have some smaller cuts and a bunch of reproductions. IDK if they've fallen out of fashion recently...I haven't been sewing in a long time. They're much harder to find in our area and the shops I used to purchase from have mostly closed but they'll always be collectible as far as I'm concerned because they remind me of my great grandmother. She worked in a textile mill and always picked out colorful, happy fabrics and preferred "conversationals".

Several years ago I was lucky enough to attend an auction that was selling Feedsacks. The auctioneer thought they were rags and began the bid at a dollar a box! There were several quilters there and the boxes went for $20 - $25 a box. I came home with my van loaded. I stopped counting when I got to 2000! I think I paid about $300 for Ll of them and those boxes were large! They were clean, pristine and most were still sewn into bags. There is only one problem: I can't bring myself to cut them to make anything. I know this is silly. I grew up on a farm and my parents and grandparents used them and I've heard their stories of how they were used. But I just can't bring myself to cut them up. Occasionally I take them out, refold, enjoy them and put them away until next time.

You got a really nice mix in these. Enjoy them as you work!

I somehow wanted the whole sack and now I'm questioning myself. What would I have done with all of it. But, I'm happy with my 21yards. She thought maybe we could get a dollar or two for each. We settled on $4 each.
