I think Pam is doing a great service and we can learn so much from her in addition to buying some of her wonderful bags and materials to make our own pillows. They are not only more beautiful, they are saving the environment, and they are cozier and more homey than anything you will find at Walmart or Kmart or Target (or any of the more expensive shops, either!) I'm going to Pam's website today and check her out! Thanks, Pam!!! I have been Pam’s neighbor for 7 years and did not know what she does as her hobby turned trade!

I have several of the muslin bags up on Etsy and will get burlap gunny sacks up within the next 24 hours. I have a couple of the Shelby Bags that could go up for sale also. The rabbit feed bag that is pictured went to a lady who was going to make sofa pillows out of them. Yep, raw burlap. I have softened some of these by washing them in Woolite and using Downey in my rinse water. Then I hung them to dry so they wouldn't shrink in my drywe. My Grandma used printed FLOUR sacks for her curtains and seat covers. They came in beautiful colored prints and they are at antique stores everywhere for between $9-$12 each. These were used far and wide by quilt makers during the Depression years and are being reproduced today. I have seen the muslin feed sacks used on the back of quilts. Or for a pillow on a sun porch or back porch. If nothing else, they make wonderful dish towels and hand towels. Thanks again! ~Pam Thank you for featuring my farm sacks!
