Flour sacks make the best dish towels.

My mom gave me some of her flour sacks. Don't know what I'll do with them, but they are fun to look at. I do remember buying flour in fabric sacks. But then I also remember when they put dish towels or glasses in laundry soap.

My mom always used flour sacks to sew clothes and quilts for us when we were growing up. thanks for sharing....

My paternal grandmother made things from flour sacks. One of my aunt's told us a very funny story about her bloomer underwear that had the Robin Hood Flour logo printed on her behind. Sorry to say I never seen anything she made. Things wear out when you have sixteen children and out grown clothing is passed down to the next child. Thanks for the link.

My DF owned a country general store. My DM would go to the warehouse with him when he stocked the store and chose all her household flour, sugar and chicken feed sacks for her sewing and quilting. She also helped him choose the ones for the store she thought other sewers and quilters would like.

Yes they did. My 90+ mother wore dresses with matching undies. My grandmother made all her daughters' dresses. That was back in the early 1920's. You just made do.
