Rag Rug Workshop

Rag rugs are sometimes called toothbrush rugs. They are so much fun to make and are a great way to recycle old sheets and doonas. No sewing is involved. You can opt to leave your "rug" the size of a dinner plate which can make a fabulous hot pot stand or you can continue to make a full size rug in your own time.

In this workshop you will learn how to:
  • Join strips of fabric together
  • Use a modified blanket stitch

​You will need:
  • Strips of fabric, approx 3cm wide.  Strips can be torn or cut
  • To make a hot pot stand you will only need a couple of metres of fabric torn into strips.  To make a rug you will need about 8m or two single sheets worth. On the day you may just like to bring a selection of the different fabrics you want to use. You can always cut more later
  • Elastic threader (tip: not the tweezer type), safety pin (doesn't have to be a big one or paper clip.
