Our upcoming quilt show Nov 6th and 7th will have a VINTAGE sale table, lots of vintage yardage fabrics in excellent condition including some feed sack fabrics. Interesting read below...see y'all at the show!

Starting in the 1920s, American flour and feed mills began printing colorful floral designs on cotton sacks and using labels made with water-soluble ink. This allowed rural families to wash away the labels and reuse the cotton to make clothes after the flour or feed was gone.

The idea can be traced back to a 1924 patent by Asa T. Bales, a millworker from Missouri. The practice was later adopted by companies such as the George P. Plant Milling Company.

During the Great Depression and continuing into the 1950s, industry groups like the Millers National Federation and the Textile Bag Manufacturers Association promoted sewing projects that used empty feed sacks. They even held sewing contests across the country to encourage families to turn the fabric into useful clothing and other items.

A well-known 1939 photograph by photographer Margaret Bourke-White helped make the practice famous. She took the picture at a Sunbonnet Sue flour mill in Kansas. Because of the photograph, some people mistakenly believe that flowered feed-sack fabric began there in 1939.

However, the practice was not created by that mill or photograph. Flower-printed feed sacks were part of a much larger trend that spread across the United States for many years.

Families in rural communities used the cotton sacks because they were practical and could be turned into clothing after their original contents were used. It was a nationwide tradition that lasted for decades, rather than a single invention from Kansas in 1939.
