Get Crafty with Queer Social!

Join us for a fabulous evening of rug making using the fascinating Amish knot (also known as toothbrush rugmaking) technique! This eco-friendly craft gives new life to old linens and fabrics, saving them from landfill while creating something beautiful and functional.

Warning: This craft is seriously addictive! You might find yourself prowling op shops for pretty prints and bright colors in bed sheets before you know it. 🛍️
