🔥🔥🔥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.

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.
Another idea is turn em into stuffing for decorative cushions or an pouf (that's what I'm thinking about doing, because I'm out of ideas of what to do with the scraps.)
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.
I love these rag rugs and it pleases this 73 year old to see a young girl sewing. And if the first plan doesn't work you keep on until it is perfect. Sewing was my first love and it helped me a lot and I had a good business from home and could be there for my children. Never give up God bless
My mother was born in 1926 and was an "Upcycler" all of her life. My first dress coat as a toddler was made from an old grey flannel suit jacket of my father's. Worn out clothes often became cleaning rags and that was only after all buttons were removed and saved for future use. Well done on your rug. It is beautiful!
@pnwlaf OH, yes! My mom said during WWII, mens suits were recycled into women's suits and other clothing. I do remember my grandmother saving every, snap, zipper, hook and eye and especially buttons from clothes as she reused the fabric. My favorite childhood memory is playing with the enormous collection of buttons in her button box of rescued buttons. They were beautiful.
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!
I have a pile of t-shirts ready to slice up. I cut one up into 1½" strips & began to crochet. I had a rectangle finished & one evening I grabbed it to cradle my hot soup bowl. It was the perfect size & cradled ice-cream or hot bowls.. then, apparently I spilled some grease on it & caught fire in the microwave, under my soup. It was really soft to stand on, but never made it to floor rug. I actually miss my large potholder.
@@sunnycherrysea8800- good point Sunny. Maybe from putting containers in the frig or milk containers that have condensation from the cold frig? What brands do you use for appliances?
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!!
For small scraps too small to sew - I fill them in door draft snakes. Usually those are filled with buckwheat or beans and they can't be washed but fabric scraps can be!
Im so bummed out because yesterday I had a bathrobe and some cigarette burned comforters I had to downsize because of my building getting bed bugs and I was saving them for some reviving projects 😢I do have a few small scraps in a zip lock bags for the next time. Thank you for sharing...❤
Yes this is exactly my problem with these kinds of projects. I love using scraps and such, but then when you need more than you have it sucks. But at least you can keep adding pieces as you get them!
Good tips, since I’m embarking on learning to sew. This project is a good starting point for those of whom don’t know how to sew. Thank you. I see that it would be a good idea to consider adding a backing to protect from slipping. Thank you for posting your sewing project. Please do more. Blessings!
You did such a great job, I really love your cute rug. what happened to the towels that you cut the edges off of? What did you make with those towels? please show us. Also I think you did a great job actually making the video and talking to us. You are very good film maker.
You would have made a Great Depression Era Mom! My Mom didn’t save the printed edges, but she made do and decorated her home with love. Thank you for bringing back memories.
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.
I understand your pain! I’ve cut all the pieces for a dress, then I realize my skirt pieces will be too short. It’s frustrating but fun to problem solve.
Cut triangles 🔺️ or scallops from the scraps and sew them onto the hem to lengthen the skirt. Maybe even add a bit of lace trim to the triangles or scallops before adding them to the hem. Get creative!

Можно использовать клеевой пистолет. Наносить капельками.

You can use hot glue on the back to make it non-slip.

Cool idea for a beach blanket!
Yes! Great idea! I was thinking, 2 of these could be sewn together and stuffed for a floor cushion for kids or even a bed for a pet. So many uses.
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.
@doitdanna This! Beautiful rug
J'adore !!! C'est très beau la couture le crochet le tricot 👍👌👏✌️🌺🌸🏵️🏵️🌼💮
I came here to say the same thing! Flip your strip 180 degrees and sew. keep flipping 180° and it will lay flat.
Why does the curve happen?
Шорошая подсказка! 👍
That would make. Really cute beach bag!
Умница.❤❤❤очень приятно видеть,что молодая девочка занимается таким рукоделием

Great for in front of your fridge…catch all the drips and drops from drinks. AND easily washable
Drips and drops get taken care of by the dog 🐶

You are very frugal in a good way. You have patience to collect scraps and made a beautiful long lasting rug. I like you!
Aw thank you!! 🫶🏼
Красиво получилось, молодец девушка! ❤😊
That is actually such a great and clever usage of ends that would normally go into the trash bravo
This is scrap recycling goals.
Also a great way to learn for beginners. Looks great . Keep it up!
I love it! People are so creative.
So cute! My heart loves the idea of this as a bathmat
Alternate the direction you are seeing and it will fix the tendency to curve.
Wow, you have inspired me to get my SEWING MACHINE OUT, which I never use! 😅.. Thank you for Sharing your TALENT. ❤🎉
Yessss 💘
A cool idea as a lying mat next to the pool to chill❗️😁
that looks perfect to create a backpack ❤
Excellent, it must have taken a long time. Looks beautiful. Well done 👏
Wow- what am awesome idea - it looks great!! 🤩🤗💖
I have so many scraps. It feels wrong to throw them out because i know i will eventually find a project for them eventually. Great Job! I love it!!!❤
The scraps pile is so overwhelming always 😅 but makes very fun projects

Its lovely...and scraps put to good use❤
LOVE IT!!!!!❤❤❤

... add a ruffle to the skirt to make it longer and cuteness.

Great job. It is made with great enthusiasm and an heirloom in the making
Oh,......🌺👍🇵🇾 love it 🌲 greetings 💜
When you sew long strips start on one end 'A' and then for the next row 'B' start at the other end. That will help it from going crooked
Thank you!! Will definitely try again :)
I really like how this turned out.
Умничка, молодец, респект!
Ficou lindo❤ criatividade é tudo 😊
