Rag Rug

Now this is something I took directly from Kirstie's Homemade Home. A woman took hessian sacks and scrap material and turned them in to funky rugs. Now that is something I can do. 

I bought the hessian material which is really cheap online

and bought the rag rug tool which is called a bodger, also cheap online. 

Then I took old clothes (all Dave's) and cut them into strips. 

(The floral fabric isn't Dave's! It's some scrap I had left over. Just in case you were wondering!) 

Then you draw a design on the hessian and try to keep within the confines of the lines. As you can see I am no artist.

Anyway, it's coming along, but it is very time consuming and I keep underestimating the amount of fabric needed. Anyway, it's a practice round; I'm going to make a really big one for the lounge eventually. Updates and photos to follow.
