One of the best story lines I have seen on RUclips. Thank you to ICPL and Linzee Kull McCray. And yes, my Nana used them for "period pads". And I thought it was gross. I am 70 years old, and she was the same age when she told me about feed sacks. She had tea towels and I always worried that they were "used"!!
I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. I wore dresses made of feed sacks in the first grade. My favorite was red, with small white flowers. My mother worked at Chase Bag Company throughout much of my childhood. This video was a lovely trip through memory land!
Wow, I watched all.the way through without my attention wandering once! I think thousands more people would love to see this video , if only they could come across it.
Linzee, I know this was recorded in 2017, but I have a question: What kind of ink was used? The colors of feed sacks have held up very well. I have not seen any fading. You also said the designs were printed on them. I have a few feed sacks and they look like the threads are woven right into the pattern as the color does not run through all of the weave of the bag. It looks like I can see the over under pattern of the weave. Meaning some color is on one thread and skips the next and then color on the next. I find your information fascinating. I have known of feed sacks but as I get older I am now more curious. I have 3 questions: Were the patterns stamped or woven in? You answered prinited. Does that mean stamped? Who made up the patterns? You answered that isn't known/ I agree that is sad not to know. I wondered if there were contest for housewives to enter to submit a pattern. Last question how could these be massed produced ? Were there programable machines back then? Thank you for your help. I look forward to your response. -Donna
