Item Specifics : I used a matching sack to this one to make cafe curtains for my kitchen! this sack is soft, floppy springy linen! I love it ~
This wonderful textile is an antique, handwoven, European grain sack dating from the late 1800's or early 1900's~ In my opinion that everyone in the world needs at least one of these wonderful textiles! This textile is unique and special, having been woven on the family farm. The various patterns, colors and stripe patterns were woven so that the miller could return the sack to the rightful farm after milling the grain ~*~ This textile has been hand woven and the fiber content for most is a combination of linen, wool and cotton!~ Most used natural dyes for the wonderful colors! The sides are hand stitched. I've been sourcing these wonderful textiles for over 20 years now and I have so many in my back stock I just don't have the time to list them. SO, I've decided to streamline the process by letting the photographs speak for each!~ If, however, you require specific information that is not listed, please don't hesitate to contact me for any additional information, I'm always happy to help! Also, I have a 30 day return period for any reason at all! ~*~ They are some of my favorite textiles I deal in and I have them in every room of my house , they add so much charm to any interior!~
Here are some great things to know about grain sacks :
1) They are extremely durable, they were the work horse of their day!
2) They are perfect for stuffing with a pillow and calling it done! I like to use two that coordinate on all of my beds!
3) They make fabulous upholstery fabric! You can cut them one of two ways: You can open out each side, producing a long thin runner OR you can open them along the bottom straight across, giving you a wide piece of fabric with the hand stitched hem down the middle!
4) They make wonderful, soulful gifts
5) They are great used as : area rugs, table runners, bolster pillows, upholstery fabric, seam together a few for a large piece, bath mats, placemats ~ you name it!
6) Most are machine washable and tumble dry. However, some I recommend dry cleaning. Please see the condition details below for each!
7) I have a Grain Sack store category for easier viewing
8) I have photographed each side, they usual vary from side to side, each totally unique and wonderful!
