Jelly Roll Rug

Date: Thursday, October 26         10:00-4:00 pm


Make your own custom rug, 100% cotton, fully washable to match your décor.  After making your first rug, you will want to make more!  This is a very addictive project, great gift idea and a fun new craft to add to your repertoire!!!

Class Prep:  Before class, please either cut your own fabric strips (2.5” x 42) or if you are using scraps, cut them 2.5” by whatever length you have.  NOTE:  A jelly roll is 42 strips 42” x 2.5” and equals 49 yards!  You need enough strips to equal 49 yards for a rug that measures roughly 29” x 43”.

Sew your strips together end to end with a narrow seam, just straight across the end.

Supplies to Bring:

•       Sewing machine, clean oiled, new 80/12 needle
•       Foot control, power cord, open toe presser foot
•       Scissors, thread snips
•       Thread, matching/blending or contrasting, your choice, it’s your rug!
•       Fill 2-3 bobbins to start, same thread as you are using on top.  (this project does use several bobbins!!)
•       Your roll of strips
•       A roll of Bosal Cotton 2.5” batting
•       Straight pins/binding clips (my favorite)

Come happy, ready to have fun and create a new home dec item!!
