Proggy Rugging Rainbow Pillow
by

Give this British rag rugging technique a try and make a fun pillow. It's a great way to recycle old t-shirts or fleece blankets!
My favorite part about this pillow is that it is completely NO-SEW! Yep, not one single thing is sewn on this pillow, making it perfect for non-sewers (like me!) and older children!
You may ask, "Then what is 'proggy' rugging?" Proggy (or proddy, depending on what area of Great Britain you are from) is a style of rug-making that uses small strips of fabric, a pointy-tipped tool called a proddy, and burlap (or "hessian" as the Brits call it!). Now, while this technique is mostly used for rugs, you can use it to make wreaths, stuffed toys, and more projects like this cool pillow!

Have a question about this project?
IS IT Possible to show instructions with pictures. Sometimes it gets confusing.
Do you have an image if the proddy so I get the right tool. I love all the colors in your pillow
Love your colorful project, but need pics so I can visualise how to do this. I'm assuming the prod thing is like a hook needle?Thanks for sharing.
