"Back in the saddle again." Yes, I missed last month's
Reduce, Reuse, REFASHION post, but that's because
my DIY pet food dispenser (free build plans!) really needed to happen for my sanity's sake. With that, I'm back at it with a refashioned feed sacks project for you using these flea market finds below. Would you buy dirty feed sacks?

You know I do! I've used feed sacks for:
So, you get that there's much potential in these beauties. For today, I'm using two of these to update my laundry room. Back in 2018, I had
my kitchen remodel reveal which includes my one-butt laundry where I added a utility sink. Also, I traded my cabinet doors under my sink for feed sack curtains.

You can see my burlap curtains are desperately needing a reprieve. Am I right? Not only are they frayed, but also paint spattered when I shook a can of paint, and the lid came flying off spraying paint everywhere.
SWAP OUT
First, instead of sewing a channel for my curtain rod to slide into, I decide to use curtain rings instead. In order to get these sacks ready, I rip the seam and wash/dry them.

Then, I iron the wrinkles out and hang them up. They're stamped, stained, and the perfect size using only two of the set of four. I'll make use of the other two next go-around. I'm happy they fit, they slide open instead of bunch up, and I have a minor update to my space.
BURLAP REFASHION
Before I wrap this up, I have to make use of not only the refashioned feed sacks but the old burlap curtains. To do that, I head out to my wood stash and grab these two tongue & groove boards leftover from a curbside haul (aka
trashure)

In order to prep them. I need to cut the tongues off and the uneven edge on the shorter piece.

Next, to prepare the burlap for another use, I sew an edge along one end and create a 7" deep pocket on the long end of my burlap.

Then, I take my new pocket creation and wrap it around one of the boards and staple it tight.

Finally, I want to dress these up with vintage lace, buttons, stencils, and more. Here, I'm making transfers to iron on fabric.
RELOVED DECOR
Finally, here is the last leg of my refashioned feed sacks and burlap adventure. These two wall pockets are similar but different in minor ways. Don't they make you crave spring?

The top wall pocket has one of my favorite spring blooms, crocuses. They make the winter cabin fever go away.

However, the bottom wall pocket features another favorite, daffodils.

This was a fun adventure for me to dig into my creative side and getting to share it with you is a blessing. If you'd like to own either of these, you can find them and more in
my online store.
