Great writing, great...Wonderful all the way around! Great writing, great instructions and the end product is simply amazing. I have been collecting jeans and getting the material ready, but it is taking much more time... I am actually deconstructing the jeans and then cutting strips using my quilting tools... I figure that I have about 150ish pairs of jeans deconstructed and about a third already in strips! I realize that I might have a very very VERY large rug! I want to make a round one... but with this much it might be 20 foot in diameter! Whoops! Maybe two?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-3662951104768131282015-11-28T00:08:26.408-07:002015-11-28T00:08:26.408-07:00Thank you for sharing these tutorials !Thank you for sharing these tutorials !Freshly Bakedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581079938533668314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-14324160765918391392015-04-11T07:45:27.644-06:002015-04-11T07:45:27.644-06:00actually that would take forever and I would never...actually that would take forever and I would never do that as it would be a waist of time since there are easier ways. You get a smooth finish by folding both raw edges to the middle of the strip of fabric sort of like double fold seam binding. I do this while a braid. I also turn all the folded edges to the left while braiding that way when I stitch the braides together all the folds are to the inside of the rug and you get a smooth finish on the out side of the rug around the perimeter you can see the folds in one of the pictures in the 1st post of the jean rug. there is a tutorial on how to make these rugs go here http://sunshinescreations.vintagethreads.com/search/label/*braided%20rug%20tutorial and read through all the posts I meant to to a video at one time to show how to do this but I never got around to it When I can figure out what happen to my tri pod I will try and remember to do this. Please remind me again if I have not done this in the next few months thanks.wendy harbaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612487318509998428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30700435.post-35734870907120224872015-04-10T17:26:52.492-06:002015-04-10T17:26:52.492-06:00Your rug looks great.
