My best friend in high school lived on a farm. She often wore dresses or blouses made from feed sacks. It was "the thing" in those days, and certainly an economical one. Lots of pretty prints and patterns. Patricia In a message dated 6/28/2010 7:51:20 A.M.

For me, during the 1940's, it was not an "in thing," it was a necessity.  I remember going with Daddy to the feedstore to pick out my new dress.  Sometimes it was hard finding a pattern you liked with enough feed bags to make a new dress.  That was basically our wardrobe during those years.

As a young boy attending a country school in Texas, my mother made my shirts from feed sacks. They came in various colored print patterns. Not too bad now that I think about it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, Jun 28, 2010 9:57 am Subject: Re: [MOBARRY] News My best friend in high school lived on a farm.
