I also remember buying feed in certain sacks for clothes. At one time all my dresses were made of feedsac material. I loved them! :D

I went to an auction a few years ago and brought home some feed sacks. I just recently made a quilt with them. I will try and post a picture.

all the printed squares are of feed sacks and the flowers

I remember having a certain dress made from a flour sack, purple with little flowers, around 1950 or 1952, I had 2 sisters and I'm sure they had a dress also. Amazing how and/or why I remember that dress. I did love pretty dresses, until pants on girls became acceptable.

I came across these at an estate sale over the weekend.. I bought all their fabric and these were hiding in a few of the boxes.. I make quilts and donate them to Newborns in need- Springfield Chapter and I'm always looking for cheap or free fabric all the time..
