When you look around your home, what could you repurpose and restyle to meet a need? ‘Making something from nothing’ is a saying that can spark ingenuity. This program explores the history of feed sacks, the reuse of a simple piece of leftover fabric, and how homemakers used what was available to them to meet the needs of their families and can inspire us today. A message that resonates with consumers during our current economic climate.
