Rag Rugs, Pillows, and More

Shelf 610hgrrd4cl

We chat to Elspeth, give you a chance to win the book and learn how-to make Christmas tree baubles.

Hello, I'm Elspeth, rag rug designer, maker, teacher and fabric hoarder at Ragged Life. My mum taught me how to rag rug when I was just fourteen and I’ve been making rag rug homeware, art and fashion ever since. I’m a craft-lover to the core but love rag rugging for its texture, simplicity and sustainable nature. Over the past few years, I’ve been spreading rag rug cheer through my business, Ragged Life where I run rag rug workshops, sell rag rug kits and make one-off rag rug commissions. My aim is to modernise rag rugging and make it accessible to everyone with simple, yet beautiful projects that anyone can make with a few basic tools. Once you’ve tried rag rugging, chances are you’ll be hooked!

Make a Peanut Butter Parfaits in #AroundTheWorldIn80Dishes with Emilie from Cookies for England in Virginia.


I grew up south of Boston, graduated from Syracuse University and worked in animation and as an art director before finding my happy home as a writer and illustrator of children's books.
I live, work, and raise my family on the seacoast of New Hampshire where pine trees are the tallest obstacles to the sea.
My top sports are table tennis, crochet, tea-making, and not-vacuuming.


Plymouth, MA, United States • Visit Website »

One of the best things about living in and around Plymouth is the number of beaches and the waterfront. It's absolutely beautiful on a nice clear day! For people who like the beach, there are several in Plymouth itself; but, the entire Massachusetts coast has great beaches. Plymouth Beach and Nelson Memorial Park are two popular public beaches. And if you have children, Nelson Memorial Park is especially good because it has a playground for the kids.
