#flour sack

I know no company has ever really truly cared about anyone under capitalism, but you know how during the Depression, flour sellers realized people were using the cloth sacks the flour came in as cheap fabric to make clothes out of, and so then they started selling the flour sacks with pretty patterns on it so people wouldn't feel embarrassed about wearing flour sack clothes?

If a company did that today they'd jack up the price of flour to obscene and beyond cost to justify the "act of helping people"

In this video, shared July 16, Athar shows how she is reusing four sacks as a rug for her tent. She encourages others to use this method in their tent, as the flour sacks are made from water resistant and easy to clean material.

Flour sacks have a history of being upcycled. In the early through mid 20th century, flour sacks were made out of cotton. Women in poor rural communities in the United States, especially during the Great Depression, used this cotton fabric to make clothes, rather than throwing away good material. This refashioning method was also popular during WWII and in the postwar years. Check out this dress from the Smithsonian--that was a flour sack!

Athar is on Instagram @ athar_abo_rabea. She has a Go Fund Me which you can view here.

Available Go Fund Me campaigns for people whose stories have been shared on watermelllonarchive can be found in the resources post.

Finally he felt himself hoisted in the air and, with a protesting squeak, was flung over Caramon's broad shoulder like a meal sack.
