First mentioned in 1914 and popular among church and community groups, the Extension Service later seized upon the idea and began teaching the technique to persons looking for a means of self support following the Great Depression and during WWII when the motto was “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” This is a great project for recycling old sheets, cloth or clothing — a means of sustainability in today’s culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(44, 187, 191);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vesterheim.org\/folk-art-school\/#cancellation-policy\" title=\"Cancellation Policy\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(44, 187, 191); text-decoration: underline;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Cancellation Policy.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(44, 187, 191);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vesterheim.org\/exhibit\/scholarships-discounts\/\" title=\"Scholarships and Discounts\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(44, 187, 191); text-decoration: underline;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn about Scholarships and Discounts.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(44, 187, 191);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.vesterheim.org\/pages\/folk-art-courses\" title=\"Folk Art School Current Courses\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(44, 187, 191); text-decoration: underline;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eReturn to Current Course Offerings.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vesterheim Folk Art School","offers":[{"title":"Non-Member Tuition","offer_id":44089132777546,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Member Tuition","offer_id":44089132810314,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/4712\/0202\/files\/636e46d5-0cc5-4cce-a3ac-88f29b41bd99-1_all_1093_21a8e116-9592-4c98-b1b7-68dd40c6a424.jpg?v=1787247689","url":"https:\/\/store.vesterheim.org\/products\/canceled-weaving-a-swedish-toothbrush-rug-in-person","provider":"Vesterheim Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
