Return of the Rag Rug - 142027

Rag rug making is just one of many "forgotten skills of self-sufficiency" used by pioneers on the frontier. Like many others, it has returned more as a hobby than a necessity. The rag rug is made from long strips of fabric that are braided, coiled and sewn into a flat spiral. They can be solid color, multi-colored, circular, square, left with ragged edges, or seamed for a neater finish. They are a great way to use fabric scraps and, as the pioneers can attest, they make great rugs. For a blue jean rag rug, you will need to bring 5 pairs of worn out jeans. For the ordinary rag rug, you will need to bring sheets or long scraps of fabric, scissors and a large needle. We also have large balls of fabric for you to use. If you have a portable sewing machine, please bring it to class. Ages 16+. Registration deadlines: February 13. Min. 4. Max. 8.
