Fun at Fairs!

 

This summer The Rag Club has been out and about, from school fairs to a fabulous 1940s street party. And this time we turned our hand to making bunting out of recycled pieces of fabric and braid. This has been a great hit with you kids! We were delighted with the creativity that went into personalising the bunting. What fun we had!

THE RAG CLUB WENT TO LAWNFEST PT2

WHEN THE RAG CLUB WENT TO LAWNFEST

We Went to Lawnfest and so did...

Madonna!!!

Yes The Rag Club were at Lawnfest and so was the Queen of Pop. Not that the kids making T-Shirts with us cared as they were so engrossed in their designs. It takes more than Her Madgesty to pull kids away from The Rag Club. And that's official!

PREVIEW LAWNFEST DESIGNS

The Rag Club will be at Lawnfest 2010 showing how to make embellishments and customize T-shirts. We asked Tania's 8-year-old daughter Mimi and her best friend Lucy to help us come up with some ideas for the event.

And here are some of the results...





Thank you Mimi and Lucy... x

LAWNFEST 2010

The Rag Club will be at Lawnfest 2010. Come along to the kid's area and we'll help you customize Lawnfest T-shirts using rags, ribbons, buttons and all the other reclaimed materials we love to work with. You buy the T-shirt, we provide the rest. All money raised goes to West Heath 2000 charity, an incredible school that works with children with a wide range of difficulties. For more info visit http://www.westheath.kent.sch.uk/

We've just started making our bunting for Lawnfest Festival. All made from old fabric, bottle tops, buttons and Ella's Organic smoothie lids [thank you to Gilly's son Ferris for slurping his way through so many so we can use the old lids]!
