"Margot’s kit includes beautiful home dyed recycled fabrics, different textures to play with and outlined pattern of the image to follow. I have never done slow stitch before but the kit made it straight forward to complete. I would highly recommend for a relaxing, mindful hobby with a lovely finished product to show for it. "

Kat reviewed: "Have a go at rag rugging"

"Margot’s rag rugging workshop was brilliant! We learned and had a go at three different rag rugging techniques and all equipment and materials were provided. I think it’s a very therapeutic and relaxing craft and I’m so glad that I booked. Margot was really welcoming and informative; I also loved meeting Norma who gave me lots of tips. All the ladies on the course were friendly too and great company. What I found really lovely was that Margot donates all the money she makes to charity! I am looking forward to my next course with Margot. "

Heart UpCycling responded:

"It was great to have you with us Kat. Thank you for your kind words - much appreciated. I really hope you continue to enjoy rag rugging at home."

"I recommend this course to anyone who wants to try some of the techniques of rag rug making. All the materials are provided, just bring your enthusiasm. Margot and Norma are very knowledgable and you will have the opportunity to gain practical skills and some of the history of the craft. We also enjoyed a lovely lunch with 10% off and air conditioning on the hottest day of the year. Thank you Margot for a lovely day. "

Roisin Mooney reviewed: Make an Adorable Christmas Angel - Group Workshop

"The craft angels workshop was so much fun. I am not a natural crafter, and don't have any sewing skills really, but this event was really accessible and Margot is so detailed and thorough at helping too. I would really recommend this event if you are looking for something to do with friends, and also to help raise money for Birmingham Hospice. "

Heart UpCycling responded:

"Thanks Roisin! It’s a real pleasure to be supporting a great cause."
