I loved making this project. Mostly because it kept me busy and as Justin says, it kept me quiet :] I started sewing it by hand because I hadn't purchased my new sewing machine yet, and decided to finish it by hand too. I wanted it to look the same all the way around and by hand-sewing it, this was a portable project. I worked for hours on my rug and pretty much toted it everywhere I went. And it's finally done! I finished stitching on the green edge last night, anchored in loose ends, and checked for extra strings! Check it out!
Another reason why I love this project is because it is simple. I had to buy fabric because I didn't have any laying around, which is kind of costly. AND...drum roll please...the best part of this project is....it's messy! I can make mistakes, and have tattered fabric, and fabric that isn't cut evenly, and it doesn't matter! This project was designed to be imperfect...it is a rag rug, after all... Here is another picture!
I originally got the idea from Brandee. She made a tan, brown, and dark red polka-dot rug, and it looked awesome! So I thought...MY TURN! I didn't follow the same tutorial that Brandee did. I followed these instructions. But either way, I think we both made pretty cool looking rag rugs :]
