Fabric Information:
Students are encouraged to use discarded clothing, bedding, or sewing scraps for this project! Medium weight woven fabrics work best for this project, but t-shirts and other knits that are not too thin or stretchy also work great. Feel free to bring a variety of items and the instructor will help you pick out what will work best! If you'd like to incorporate specific colors or textures, we have lots of fabric available for purchase in our online shop! Check out our selection here.
Fabric quantities required will vary depending on the desired size of your rug; approximately 5-6 yards of fabric will make a 2-foot rug.
