Event Description:
With the most basic of crochet skills (chain and single crochet stitches) you can make your own fabric rugs out of any textile you like, including scrap sheets and t-shirts! You will learn how to make strips, wield a jumbo hook, join your strips, and make a variety of shapes of rugs. Make one for every room in your house, and they’re an ideal housewarming gift too!
Students must know at least chain and single crochet stitches. If you need to learn or brush up on chain and single crochet, Cal has an online class at http://calpatch.com/online-video-classes-with-cal/, or you can likely find some help on YouTube.
Supplies:
- Jumbo crochet hook (a few sizes in range of 12-20mm)
- 1 or more yards of scrap woven fabric (e.g., cotton sheets)
- 1 or more old t-shirts to cut up
- Sharp scissors
Cause:
Programs in the Crafts with a Cause! series combine the fun of creating and learning with the joy and fulfillment of giving back- to the earth, to a good cause, to a group doing good work.
In this class you will have a chance to upcycle past-their-prime sheets and t-shirts (i.e., stained, small holes, thrifted). A portion of the registration fee will also be donated to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary (http://woodstocksanctuary.org/).
