Not just for grain and feed and livestock anymore.
Who doesn't love these versatile relics from ages past?
And who can boast that they once had a room in their home used solely for storing grain and the sacks it came in?
Uh...
What is now our upstairs bathroom, was at one time,
a feed and grain storage room.
Go figure.
Today, grain sacks are all the rage.
Just check out these beauties from Pinterest made out of...
You guessed it...
Grain sacks.

I mean, what's not to love?
Last month, I had the opportunity to snatch up
two boxes of these beauties!
I admit, I got into a bidding war over one set,
but you know me and my competitiveness.
Yep.
Won.
And sold one grain sack without ever leaving my seat,
recouping a portion of the cost.
Love it when that happens!
But, they've sat for the last month just waiting for me
to do something with them.
Of course, I went with the traditional route...
Pillows.
No sew, of course.
Because a seamstress, I ain't.
But one, I decided just to frame.
And I think the end result is great!
Perfect for a farmhouse kitchen!
The others got the poly-fill.
And the left over scraps...
Freezer Paper Transfers to mimic french grain sacks.
Tomorrow, I'll show you
step by step
exactly how I did this:
Hope to see y'all back here for the whole scoop!

Great pillows. Tried to get my hands on a sack this weekend, but the store manager was quite the grump. I figured he was having a lousy day and left him and his sack alone :-(
ReplyDeleteKeeping my eyes open though.
Cheers. Here's to great week!
Gee
Love all of your pictures. I have a few...you just motivated me to maybe do something with them next year. LOL. The pillows are spectacular! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteStop with the fabulousness, sista! Where does one get grain sacks???? I am dying for them now!
ReplyDeleteI want to use an expletive. Little Miss Pillowmaker. How many sacks came in the box? Enough to cover my dining room chairs?
