I bought two bags of fabric today for $1.95 each. One had a piece of Holly Hobbie fabric that is at least 10 yards, (the blue fabric with the mushrooms), and two other pieces of dark blue fabric. The other bag had these old, coarse cotton fabrics. When I took them out of the bag I noticed ALL of them had holes all around the edges... I kept wondering about that, so Googled feedsacks. Turns out there are 10 full size feed sacks! The top four pieces in the picture are the right size and type of fabric for feed sacks but they don't have the holes around the edge. They have been washed, though, and I was wondering if the holes would disappear after washing?

Nice find. WOW!

Don't know about the "holes" washing out though. I don't believe they will but I may be wrong.
