TOOTHBRUSH RUGS
You will love making these reversible and washable rugs from strips of torn cotton fabric. The name comes from the plastic tool used to make the rugs, which used to be made from a toothbrush handle. Unlike braided rugs, these don’t have to be sewn or laced together, and will never come apart. This is a great way to use fabric that has been languishing in your stash.
April 5th from 11:00 to 1:00 or Aprill 22nd from 3:00 to 5:00
Instructor: Linda Barnes Class fee: $30.00 (includes pattern and toothbrush tool)
