During the Great Depression, when flour manufacturers saw women turning their flour sacks into clothing, diapers, dish cloths, and more, they started packing their flour in pretty patterns. The sacks came with bright, colourful designs, and sometimes patterns for toys. The sacks were labelled, but the ink was washable. It's estimated that during the Depression, 3.5 million women and children were wearing clothing and using items made from flour sacks.

The children pictured above are wearing clothes made from the flour sacks. 

These women are also wearing flour sack dresses.
