Yes, yes, yes! I never had a "store-boughten" dress until I was in high school. All my "sunday-go-to-meetin" clothes were made from the feed sacks. Just last year for Christmas, I made quilted maps of the states my family members live in and used a pile of those feed sacks from my mothers' stash for back ground and borders. She had over a dozen left that she had used for table scarves, etc., right on up to 1997. And I remember the pinafores from very early in my life.
