“Community rug” weaving on a loom

We will set up traditional looms at our hobby school and invite the entire community to weave a shared community rugs together. Everyone is welcome to join in, and we will use old T-shirts brought from home to make fabric strips for weaving.

By participating, we show that traditional craft skills help reduce waste and overconsumption. Our “community rug” symbolizes six main principles:

Refuse: We say no to buying new products.
Rethink: We change how we view old textiles and reconsider their purpose.
Reduce: We cut down on waste generation through our actions.
Reuse: We extend the lifecycle of items kept in our homes instead of throwing them away.
Repurpose: We take old T-shirts and transform them into a completely new and useful product.
Recycle: We process textile waste into a new usable material.

Link to EWWR: This event combines Estonian traditional heritage with environmental protection. It supports material sufficiency by reducing and upcycling textile waste.
