flour sack
Baking powder container
A flour sack is a bag used to hold flour, traditionally made of cotton or linen fabric.
These plain cloth sacks were historically repurposed for making clothing, towels, and other household items during times of scarcity: Depression-era mothers sewed dresses from flour sacks.
Flour sack fabric remains valued for dish towels and cleaning cloths due to its absorbency.
