vintage grain sacks
Recently at a garage sale I ‘scored’ by finding a stack of unused grain sacks ranging in size from small to tiny.
The man I bought them from, who was an ‘older’ gentleman, said they had been in his grandfather’s basement.
They are so old and perfectly preserved.
I can’t bear the idea of cutting these up so I will try to sew them into things, keeping them intact as I go!
I made the one hand bag, using one of the grain sacks as the front pocket. I like it well enough that I’m hoping to get some more made.
wish me luck on that one

lucky you!! those are so cute!
Love those sacks! Sure wished I had all the once my mother use to have. Wonder what happened to them? I know as a kid I had pajamas made out of four sacks.
Well the one bag you made is darling! What an amazing find. Truly a treasure.
Adorable!!!
