Scraps day! I made a rug.

🔥🔥🔥but please, please add some kind of non-slip element to the back. I learned from almost near fatal mishap of how slippery we forget these things can be when you're in a hurry. I've used everything from cabinet/drawer liners (the rubbery puffy kind) to just strategically drawing lines of puff paint on the floor-facing side. Anything really to keep you, your family, visitors, and pets from an unfortunate (but preventable) accident 🙏 ❤ amazing work! Looks store-bought!

The crookedness comes from sewing everything in the same direction. Try flipping or turning it each time so that you aren't starting each seam from the same corner.

Scraps aren't trash. They are reusable for this. Great work. 🎉🎉

You need to try the weaving method. I bet itd be faster! Also this is adorable ❤❤ I dont sew a lot, but had a plethora of denim that was no longer worn lingering in the back of my closet. So I shredded it up into strips, and tried a braiding/weaving method. Rug did come out quite THHIICCCC, but it only took a few hours to weave it into about a 4×4 rug.

My grandmother was a quilter and born, late 1800s. So every scrap, every piece of old clothing that wasnt used for quilts, went into the making of what we calked rag rugs. My first memory of sewing was taking 1 inch strips of fabric, sewing them together by hand end to end, them crocheting rugs. Nothing was ever wasted. Well done on your rug. I love how colorful these scrap rugs can be.

Next time when you sew multiple strips together, if you sew from one end then flip to the other end to sew you will reduce the curve.

Love when people use "waste" in creative ways to make beautiful and useful items ❤❤❤

Great for in front of your fridge…catch all the drips and drops from drinks. AND easily washable

I love your little rug! I've been making little rugs out of t-shirt yarn, made from my family's old t-shirts. I don't sew them, because it's impossible to get them straight, so I knit them, the alternating colours matching end to end with a single line of contrast through the middle. Nothing wasted!

That would make. Really cute beach bag!

This is brilliant! I’m a quilter and I use flannel sheets as quilt backs. You inspired me to make a bedside rug from the hemmed edges of the sheets that I cut off before binding the quilts. I never knew what to do with them but couldn’t bear to throw them out. Thank you!!
