Thank you for this video! It was very instrumental in giving me the confidence to make my own. I did recently finish my first one and making plans for more. Thanks again!
I’m am watching this to learn how to finish vintage braided wool rugs made in the Woolen Mill in Bloomfield Indiana in the 1920’s-1970’s. This is where my husband and I live.
Bradd, this surpasses my wildest imagination! I LOVE IT! I'm sharing this with my Facebook tie dye groups today! If they're like me, they have tons of t-shirt mistakes!
Hi Michele, I'm glad you liked my first rug project and thanks for sharing it with your friends. I am working on the part 2 rug, I hope you will like it as much. It can be made with regular cotton fabric or tee shirt fabric or a combination of both. Thanks for being a loyal subscriber. Yours truly Bradd C.
Oh, I love this! At the moment I’m crocheting a rag rug and watching videos to choose my next method. This is going to be it. However I‘ll be using woven fabric which does work. I’ve made many crocheted and braided but never an oval woven rug. Now I’m anxious to finish the one I’m crocheting and get started on yours. Thank you!
I'm sorry but I can't exactly say, it depends on how long your fabric strips are and how big you want your rug to be. I would say to make as many strips as yoou can and if they don't make a big enough rug then go to a thrift store and purchase more tee shirts. Good luck with your project.
Well, first it helps to use the knit T-shirt fabric like I used in the video. Then second, as you're coming around the corner, just don't weave the fabric too tightly. Thanks for watching my videos.
