Feed Sacks: The Colourful History of a Frugal Fabric
(originally published in 2016, reprint by Martingale in October 2019)

544 pages

The interior content of the book is just the same as the 2016 edition but this reprint does not have a dust jacket.

Feed sacks are the perfect example of a utilitarian product turned into something beautiful. 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. Extensive imagery and at-scale reproductions of these fabrics create an inspiring sourcebook of pattern and colour—and offer a welcome visit to a slower-paced way of life.
