We had all of the above. Some of my skirts came from chicken/hog feed bags and some of them were very pretty prints. Mom ordered fabric from Sears catalog for our clothes. We didn't have a bought dress until we got to high school. The one and only scrappy quilt mom made on her treadle machine from all the scraps from our clothes I have in my possession. It is full size and fits my full size bed nicely. We lived in the country where there were no fabric shops, etc. I also have the sprinkler bottle, doctor pepper and the top that mom used way back when. We learned to iron on pillow cases and hankerchiefs. Only had a dry iron. The old flat irons would leave soot on white shirts if you were not very careful. Caught my arm a couple of times in the wringer of the washing machine. Had to fold the shirts/blouses with the buttons on the inside to keep them from popping off while going through the wringer. Don't care to go back to those days. I like the modern way of today.
