Oh, that second print is wonderful! There's something about feed sacks, isn't there? There's a lot of history in those humble sacks.

What beautiful fabrics!!! I don't remember any clothes being made of those feed sacks in my family but I do remember my grandmother making dish towels from them....great for drying dishes. Consider yourself one lucky woman!!!!

Thanks everyone for sharing their memories. My mother told me she made me a feed sack dress when I was a little girl. She was happy, proud and excited to share me and my feedsack dress with her mother. Her mother was not impressed that "I was going to be wearing a chicken feedsack." I never did get to wear that dress.

Are there ways to identify a feedsack "material" or fabric?

Very unique and so colorful.

My daughter gave me a whole collection of '30s fat quarters from Keepsake Quilting year before last at Christmas. Many of the prints are similar to the feed sack material. We got chicken feed in sacks even though we lived in the big city of Paris, Arkansas. I remember one pinafore that mother made me - it was purple stripe and solid purple. We could always tell if a dress was made out of feed sacks if it had two different prints in it. Now we pay big money for boutique shirts made from different prints. go figure
