LEARN at Hestercombe: Rag Wreaths

Ali is a maker who wastes nothing. Every beautiful fabric she works with — and she works with a lot — gets used to its fullest. Larger pieces find their way into garment linings and bag pockets. Smaller scraps get cut into strips. And even the tiniest offcuts get kept, because Ali knows that good fabric deserves a second life.
Those strips and scraps are exactly what you’ll be working with in this workshop, transforming them into a gorgeous rag wreath to take home and hang on your door this Christmas.
Rag wreaths are a wonderfully satisfying make — tactile, forgiving, and genuinely enjoyable to put together, whatever your experience level. Ali’s fabric choices are beautiful: rich colours and textures that make for a wreath that feels considered and special rather than thrown together.
Everything you need is included in your workshop, so you can just turn up, settle in, and make something lovely.
