My granny made flour sack dresses for me, too. Those pretty patterned flour sacks make the best dish towels ever. I think I’m down to my last one and it’s more holes than towel but I just can’t part with it. One year, I got old flour sack dish towels for Christmas. Best Christmas present ever!

Remember my mother and grand-mothers going in the back of the feed store , so they could pick out the print that they wanted. Wore many a shirt when I was younger made from a feed sack.

The flour sacks were made into sock dripers for the coffee pot and handkerchiefs .

I buy some dish towels at Walmart that are reminiscent of the flour sack fabric, and gave them one year to my kids for Christmas.

They were so happy to get them, and I think they use them in recipes calling for cheesecloth straining.
