Back in the day, we didn't always have money to buy things, especially frivolous type items. To make do, and still have a pretty home, my mother would use pretty flour sacks to make things. Sometimes they were used to make us dresses, too. I remember this scarf made from such a sack being used on the dresser in the "girls" pink room at our house. I was lucky enough to still have it, and decided I would make it longer so it would work on my dining table. It seemed a shame to not be able to use it.
Isn't it pretty? Fifty pound sacks of flour came in these pretty cotton sacks. I wish we could still get groceries in these pretty sacks.
I showed you here how I used dust ruffles to adjust the size of my quilt. I had 1/3 of a ruffle left from that project. What better way to use it than to sew it to this??
I have a dash of pink in my dining room already in the curtain panels I made, so this works really well in here.
Hope you enjoyed seeing how I updated this wonderful piece from my childhood!

This is an easy, easy project, taking literally around 10 minutes.
Shabby chic look!!
I love it!!
