Vintage feed sack fabrics carry a unique story woven into every thread. These fabrics, once used to package flour, feed, and other staples, have transformed over time into cherished materials for crafting beautiful, practical items. Our lavender sachets, made with these vintage fabrics, offer more than just a pleasant scent. They bring a touch of history and craftsmanship into your home, blending nostalgia with everyday luxury.
The History of Feed Sack Fabrics
In the early 20th century, feed and flour sacks were made from cotton fabric. These sacks were sturdy and reusable, which led to a creative second life for the material. During the Great Depression and World War II, fabric was scarce and expensive. Resourceful homemakers began repurposing these sacks into clothing, curtains, quilts, and other household items.
Feed sack manufacturers noticed this trend and started printing colorful, attractive patterns on their sacks to appeal to consumers. This shift turned plain sacks into sought-after fabric, often featuring floral prints, checks, and stripes. The fabric was soft, durable, and easy to sew, making it perfect for a variety of projects.
Why Vintage Feed Sack Fabrics Are Special
Vintage feed sack fabrics are more than just old textiles. They represent a time when resourcefulness and creativity were essential. Each piece of fabric carries the marks of its past life, from faded prints to slight wear, adding character and charm.
Using these fabrics today connects us to a tradition of sustainability and craftsmanship. Instead of discarding materials, people found new uses for them, reducing waste long before it became a popular concept. This history makes vintage feed sack fabric items meaningful gifts or keepsakes.
Our Lavender Sachets: A Blend of History and Luxury
Our lavender sachets are crafted with care, using vintage feed sack fabrics for the removable covers. This design allows you to enjoy the fabric’s beauty while keeping the sachet fresh and easy to maintain. The sachets are filled with our high-quality dried lavender, known for its calming and refreshing scent and measure approximately 4x6".

How to Use and Care for Your Lavender Sachets
To keep your lavender sachets smelling fresh, place them in areas where air circulates but avoid direct sunlight, which can fade the fabric and reduce the scent. If the scent fades over time, you can refresh it by gently crushing the lavender inside or adding a few drops of lavender essential oil.
The removable covers can be hand-washed gently in cold water if needed and air dried. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach to preserve the fabric’s colors and texture.
