Want to learn how to create a neat throw rug with recycled T-shirts? Worth Repeating has a class for you that is back by popular demand. If you can tie a knot, you can make a rug. This is a perfect craft for a homemade Christmas gift.

Worth Repeating is offering a free rug-making class on Monday, November 4, 2024, from 7 to 8:30pm at the Manchester Area Historical Society’s KJ House, located at 302 E Main St (on the corner of Main Street and M-52). While the class is free, there is a supply fee of $5, which will provide you with a 24” x 18” backing and six starter T-shirts of your choice.

Participants can register and pay at Worth Repeating, located at 110 E Main St., prior to class. Class is limited to 8 students. Students will need to bring something to cut fabric. A rotary cutter and cutting mat works best, but scissors will do.

It’s easy, fun, and a great way to upcycle old T-shirts. Others fabrics that do not ravel can also be used to create these rugs.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
