YES to feedsack dresses. My grandmother sewed for me and she had friends who lived on a farm who didn't sew and gave her stacks of material, beautiful prints. Most of Ohio at that time were farm people and wonderful folks to know when milk and eggs were rationed during the mid 40's.

My grandmother could make a designer dress out of a piece of pretty feedsack cotton. I never felt anything but like a princess. I had Penneys dresses too.

I had a cowgirl outfit and two holsters with cap pistols. I "killed" my share of varmints, but never wanted to shoot anyone when I grew up. (Well hardly ever)

I also had a WAC purse, I was awfully proud of.
