ragged life rag rug workshops
Herts,
Hi, I’m Elspeth, avid crafter and professional rag rugger (now that’s something
I never thought I would say!) When I was 14 I was asked to make a costume for my
school’s recycled fashion show. I’d grown up with my mum’s rag rugs all over the
house and thought it would make the perfect medium for my outfit. Hours and
hours and t-shirts and t-shirts later, I finished my costume… which was possibly
the most uncomfortable outfit ever made (try telling a teenager they have to
line something). I won second prize for my efforts but decided that rag rug
clothing wasn’t exactly the easiest place to start… a rug would do for my next
project. That’s where my story began and I’ve been rag rugging ever since.
