MUG RUG Fabric LOCKER HOOKING
The introduction to Locker Hooking class will use strips of fabric, canvas, and
string.
Class will cover the different size canvases and how to prep and finish them.
Learn what fabrics work best and how to join the strips together. The string
used in the eye "locks" the crochet loops in place, making the work washable and
stable.
From this introduction class you then can then make purses, rugs, table runners,
trivets, pillows, and place mats.
A great technique to use up "ugly" fabrics, fat quarters, and old sheets.
Kit $20.00 paid to the teacher at the beginning of the class
