Description
Make a rag rug 75x50cm (30x24in) using your own fabrics and learn the traditional technique of Progging which you can use later for other designs.
What's included in the price?
Full instructions and a 'bodger' rug tool, plus hessian backing with hand drawn vintage design (red diamond called "the devil's eye"- if the devil looked down your chimney he'd see devil in residence, at the hearth, and keep moving).
What you will need
Sharp scissors and some old clothes, or similar, to recycle (like granny did). Woollens wear best for a floor rug.
