Box 8

This series includes a variety of household items made from feedsack textile, including bedsheets, potholders, tablecloths, and other items.

This potholder was made from a floral feedsack textile; it looks remarkably like the bonnet from the "Sunbonnet Sue" quilt and appliqué pattern that has been popular since the early 1900s.

This baby bib is bordered with a striped binding. The ears of the bunny would have tied around the child's neck for use.

This small laundry bag makes use of shoestrings to cinch the bag closed.

This clothespin bag is a repurposed toddler dress made from feedsack; the sleeves and bottom of the dress have been sewn closed to create the bag.

This pillow cover is made from a single blue printed feedsack; the textile's original seaming holes are still visible in the finished pillow cover.
