When you have growing children and a job that requires you to dress smartly, you usually end up with a lot of clothes in closets, clothes that are too old to wear or that no longer fit. While I try to donate some of my old clothes, there are times when clothing is stained or holey and only good for the rubbish bin. But now there's a way to put all your old clothes to very good use - by making a rag rug.
Megan Nielsen is a blogger and designer that shares her passion for sewing and making, and have a variety of clothing patterns on her website. She also shares a few of her home projects as well, including the instructions for making your own circular rag rug.
There isn't a step-by-step pictorial guide for making the rag rug, but I have included a video that takes you step-by-step through the project - see video below.
For this rag rug, Megan uses a selection of pink, white and grey fabric scraps - both stretchy and non-stretch.
