Great feed sack stories from everyone. I remember my mother telling me about all of her dresses and undergarments being made from feed sacks. She grew up in the depression, had 8 sisters and one brother. There was not any money for store bought yardage. Also she would mention how exciting it was to have her very own new dress and not a hand-me-down.
