How to Make a Rag Rug Loom

My first answer to the question, “How do you make a rag rug loom?” is, “Don’t.  Buy one instead.”  At least, buy your first loom.  Buy, or trade, or borrow, or take a …

New year, new flat, new techniques for new projects.

I learned some rag rug braiding because I desperately needed a doormat. You see: there’s quite a bit of snow (unprecedented in Scandinavia, I know) and my floors need protection.

A perfect stash busting first attempt. I also filmed the process and will be publishing a tutorial. Some day….

I'm planning to make a rag rug (the plaited/braided kind) from our old worn out flannel nightwear, sheets, etc. A happy thought.

eka pätkä mattoa. valmistui sitä enemmänkin mutten muistanut ottaa kuvia. tästä taitaa tulla ihan hieno.

sukkulat meinas tosin mennä heti kättelyssä sekaisin joten ne piti merkata maalarinteipillä. kyllä tämän kolmen sukkulan kahdesti sevotetun maton kutominen sitten siitä lähti sujumaan. #räsymatto #rasymatto #ragrug #kiikkalainen

After several months and a lot of podcasts I’ve FINALLY used up most of my accumulated stash of old clothing.

It took two hours to plait and sew 6 lengths of sheeting into something the size of a cushion. Shall be considering the value of this craft... #RagRug #Sewing

Rug is complete and cat-approved

Cozy Sunday vibes. Snuggled up with a blanket and a kitty, watching LotR with the hubby, and hand stitching my rag rug together.

the project rag rug is evolving. i wished i’d have more of that lovely yellow but i didn’t so im just loosely following the pattern while going through my rag bag. found some nice greens on my flea market tour so those are jumping in too. the hard part is to keep it flat as i am sewing it together by hand, lot of awkward work ergonomic present so it’s slow to make.

the blues, violets, whites and black are from an old, faded, now dismantled rug. #RagRug #recyclingOld #recycling
