Perhaps they are simply the wrinkled corners of a piece of fabric, that is sewn like a pillowcase cover, and is overstuffed. Or are they the result of how the bags are made and sewn shut? All my internet searching has only shown images of empty flour bags, and crafts that people do with them. Their popularity has made it difficult to find the kind of information I am seeking. I am picturing a 5-lb sized bag, which may be done differently than a much larger bag. Does anyone have a clue about what causes those tabs? Thank you for any leads. -Joe[/QUOTE]
