Weaving!

I make rugs from reclaimed materials - rags.  I start with old garments that are ripped or stained or frayed.

Then I cut off seams and waistbands.  Ken finally came up with an idea for these scraps - dog beds.  I am looking for some tough fabric and then I will be using up the scraps.

Then I cut the pieces into strips.  I use a Fraser cutter or a rotary cutter and mat.  Some people rip.  I don't as I want to avoid dust - the old fabric is dusty enough!

Then I use my grandmother's sewing machine to sew the strips together.

I roll them into balls  and balls.

Once the loom is warped, I start in  - hurrah!
