Feed sack fabric - who remembers?
#32
I remember a story my mom tells. She always knew when she was getting a new dress because she got to pick out the feed sacks. She said she would look until she found several that matched so Grandma had enough material to make her dress. I love the 30's reproduction fabrics. Quilts made from them remind me of quilts that Grandma had.

When I was a kid my mom either went with my dad to buy chicken feed, or gave him orders to get several bags alike so she could make dresses/pinafores for me and my sister. She also made sheets and pillow cases from flour sacks and then appliqued and embroidered the hems for "guest" linens.
