Boudoir Rag Rug Heart Cushion - with Debbie Siniska

Rag Rug making is hundreds of years old, and people would have made clippy and proggy rag rugs for their homes, out of necessity in the early 1900's. They used their worn out clothing and sacks, with simple hand tools. Today these techniques are still relevant and you can create something truly inspired from the wealth of recycled textiles that are available today.

At this course you will learn to use a rug hook and a bodger, to create a hooked or clipped surface, and hopefully you will be inspired to get creative with colour and texture. There will be some hand stitching.
