The tiny holes where they were sewn together proves
that they are authentic.

Growing up on the farm I wore many dresses made from feed sacks. I sometimes was allowed to go along to the feed mill and pick out the print I liked for my dress. I recall that the fabric was more coarse than what one would buy now. You were very lucky to find what you did for the price.
