Chicken feed came in patterned cotton & was used for dish towels. I STILL HAVE A COUPLE-—FROM THE 50’s.

Yep! "Flour sack dresses" were a big thing for little girls, and some grown women. Big sellers at the church bazaar. I still have one of my grandmother's flour-sack aprons from that era!

Good for you.

I also remember ‘MILK STRAINER PAD DOLLS’.

There was a STRAINER that fit into the bottom of the WIDE funnel used to pour milk from the milker into the 10 gallon cans. I could use some of those-— UNUSED-—with different colors of yarn to make “BIG HOOP SKIRTS/shawls/ & BIG HATS on dolls.

Mostly, I was a bookworm.
