I just wanted to thank everyone for their responses about the flour
sack fabric.
Can you use the osnaberg for corsets or does it loosen up too much
after it has been washed?
Sylvia - The osnaberg at the Joann's in Orlando seemed fairly stiff,
not as much as a duck cloth, but more than a broadcloth. I'm pretty
sure I looked at the information on the top of the bolt; I'll have
to double check it again.
Thanks again for everyone's help!

Osnaberg is too loosely woven to make a good corset. You want
something that doesn't stretch too much. I have had successful
corsets made with cotton duck (rather heavy, but it works and is
cheap) as well as cotton coutil (the best, in my opinion), which is
designed for corsets.
