Bradd, this surpasses my wildest imagination! I LOVE IT! I'm sharing this with my Facebook tie dye groups today! If they're like me, they have tons of t-shirt mistakes!

Hi Michele, I'm glad you liked my first rug project and thanks for sharing it with your friends. I am working on the part 2 rug, I hope you will like it as much. It can be made with regular cotton fabric or tee shirt fabric or a combination of both. Thanks for being a loyal subscriber. Yours truly Bradd C.

Oh, I love this! At the moment I’m crocheting a rag rug and watching videos to choose my next method. This is going to be it. However I‘ll be using woven fabric which does work. I’ve made many crocheted and braided but never an oval woven rug. Now I’m anxious to finish the one I’m crocheting and get started on yours. Thank you!

Interesting to see no increases, just keeping the braid loose around the curves and as it grows. Thanks for sharing your colorful work.

I’m in my 60s. My great aunts who lived to be 105 and 107 taught me this method when I was young.

They used fabric scraps and old clothes.

This brought back memories. I have an old set of curtains I’m thinking of cutting up.

Great tutorial. I always wanted to make one of these. It would be a lot quicker if the strips are cut at 2”:wide.

How many shirts do you typically need to make a rug?

@braddsboredombusters9600 2 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry but I can't exactly say, it depends on how long your fabric strips are and how big you want your rug to be. I would say to make as many strips as yoou can and if they don't make a big enough rug then go to a thrift store and purchase more tee shirts. Good luck with your project.

How do I keep it from rolling up

@braddsboredombusters9600 2 ай бұрын

Well, first it helps to use the knit T-shirt fabric like I used in the video. Then second, as you're coming around the corner, just don't weave the fabric too tightly. Thanks for watching my videos.
