    Let's summarize. For this rug I used: 4 knitted jumpers, 3 t-shirts, 2 sport pants, viscose shirt and slip dress, off-shoulder cotton top, tights, cotton skirt, wool skirt, quilted scarf. Let's save our planet together. 🌍

      ​@@SaraH-zt1ek absofreakinglutely we do! I'm collecting things right now for a) t-shirt yarn, and b) plastic recycling (like Brothers Make on here are doing), and as I always do, watching for yarn to repurpose for my crocheting. Plus, I'm finally learning to sew, after decades, and using the thrift store near the doctor's office I go to every month for cheap materials! Keeps lots out of the landfill that way!

      I think, we need to give such not in use clothes to some unemployed people so that they can follow the process and make something for their living by selling the same.

    These rugs can be a wonderful memorial for someone too. My great great grandma made 2 area rugs out of her husband’s clothes after he passed. She had two children so each got one. They’ve been passed down and fast forward to today, I have a beautiful rug that reminds me of a long gone loved one. It is my favorite possession.

    That is the most beautiful rug I have ever seen made from recycled clothing! I've always thought I'd have to go out to buy more thrift store tshirts to complete such a rug because I didn't know you could use different fabrics. Glad you made this video to show it's possible to use various fabrics. I'm impressed you even incorporated a knitted sweater and a quilted fabric in the rug.

  • @janetmichel3009

    My first reaction when seeing the rug: I WANNA DO THAT!! After watching the video: that's a lot of work, not so sure about that now!
    It's beautiful though and all that extra work really paid off. It looks very neat, not to mention beautiful!

    I've been watching upcycling videos today and your rug has to be the prettiest I've seen using old clothing strips. I haven't watched the video yet, but will tomorrow AM. The colors and professionally done finish caught my eye right before shutting down for the night. I'd given up the idea of using my old clothes fabrics for such a project until I saw your beautiful green rug. Now I want to know how to do it in such a beautiful way. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for this , it’s an amazing use of old clothing and brilliant idea to use handing rail as a loom, genius. ❤ I would use pipe cleaners to thread the ends through the rug, and use slip knot to tie the foundation strings so it’s easier to untie them. My late grandma used to make these and she used any type of fabric to make rugs and throws.

    Fabulous 😍🤩 in our family tradition, we would make rugs and blankets the same way but using yarn and stretching t-shirt fabric of different colours. We don't make bias ribbons, we just cut the strips, stretch them to make them rounded and then use them directly to weave the item ...thank you so much for sharing ❤

    Beautiful end result, if you have a bunch of clothes to repurpose. I recently made a rug for the floor in front of the toilet, using one pair of my husband’s worn out work jeans. I cut the pant legs into strips about 4 cm wide, sewed them together lengthwise. Hemmed all the edges and then put it through the wash a couple times. The rough edges with the fray exposed face up to catch the dirt and cushion your feet and when it gets dirty you just toss in the wash. It was a quick, one afternoon project and kept that material out of the landfill! Very easy & satisfying.
