Feed sacks in the closet
My two oldest daughters were growing up but I was still putting them in dresses with bows in the back. That is what my mother-in law liked and she always gave them clothes for their birthdays. My sister Helen lived across from a Junior High School and she would sit on her front porch and watch the students pass by. None of them had bows. She is very good at sewing and she had her husband bring home feed sacks from where he worked in a feed store and she made them new outfits that were more grown up. They were very pleased. They liked looking like the rest of the girls in their class. We saved bows for dress up but they soon did not want them then either. Over the years my brother in law continued to give us feed sacks. I loved the prints.
