Workshop Title: Toothbrush Rag Rug
 
Format: In person
 
Workshop Description: Make a round rag rug or casserole hot pad using recycled or new cotton or poly cotton fabric. A 30 inch round rug will require approx. 2 flat sheets and 1 double sheet or a variety of similar amount yardage. A thrift store duvet cover will work well. Fabric should be torn into 1/12 to 2 inch strips. The lighter the fabric weight, the wider the strips should be torn. If unsure of the size of strips to tear, we can tear the strips at the workshop. NO STRETCH Fabrics, please. It is best to tear strips, less fraying will occur when working the rug. Pull away any long threads that occur when tearing the strips. Save scraps for fringe if desired. Printed cloth that shows whiteish on the back side, should be pressed in half, good side out, so that the colorful side shows when working the rug. The strips will be joined with a no sew method as the rug is worked. Also needed to bring are scissors, crochet hook size 5mm or similar, and a bigger safety pin. A FREE toothbrush rug tool will be provided. 
 
Kit fee $0 (see workshop description for materials)
