so, (she says, sounding like an old lady and sucking her teeth), I remember when sweet feed and oats and corn came in burlap sacks. And then I remember when they started making this weird plastic burlap analog that I kind of wish I could experiment with and am kind of glad I don't know where to find because it felt so weird?

This is regular burlap off the bolt, for home dec stuff and embroidery by hippies. I also have a chunk of coffee sack that has CHARACTER as well as heft and attitude (and a work ethic and a resume). It took dye in an interesting way, and I kind of want to make a satchel from it to carry things with me.
