Event Details
From feed sacks to fashion, join us for a fascinating presentation as Louise Baker explores the incredible story of how everyday cotton bags were once used to package flour, sugar, feed, and meal and then transformed into clothing and household items by resourceful homemakers from across America. Discover how this creative reuse began in the early 1920s, a time when practicality and innovation went hand in hand. Whether you’re a history buff, a vintage fashion lover, or just curious about the past, this is a talk you won’t want to miss.
