Rag Rug workshop

Another generous workshop at Stitching for Pleasure at the NEC was Rag Rug introduction at the Pots & Pancakes stand. Pots and Pancakes. I have never made a rug before so was interested to have a go.

I have just finished my mini rag rug - In true Rolf Harris style 'Can you see what it is yet?'

They were very generous with materials letting us take a bag of fleece to finish the project. We use multi coloured fleece which doesn't fray, and is very soft. I can see that it would make a lovely soft, warm rug.

This is a proddy type of rag rug made by prodding strips of fabric through hessian backing using a prodding tool or stick.

When finished it was very therapeutic to trim all the strips to make a level surface and reveal the pattern.

Happy stitching
