Feed Sacks - The Colourful History of a Frugal Fabric

£30.00

Part of Uppercase Magazine's 'Encyclopedia of Inspiration', Feed Sacks is a gorgeous exploration of the history and surprising beauty of a most utilitarian fabric.

Author Linzee Kull McCray explores the history of the humble feed sack, from a plain burlap or cotton sack to exuberantly patterned and colourful bags that were repurposed into frocks, aprons and quilts by thrifty housewives in the first half of the 20th century.

Beautifully illustrated with at-scale reproductions of these fabrics, this is an inspiring sourcebook of pattern and colour—and offers a welcome visit to a slower-paced way of life.
