i have finally finished my T-Shirt Rug. i started it in June 2008. for those who have not seen this before it is made up of all my boys t-shirts that i have collected over the years.
cut off all the seams & sleeves, then do a continuous cut 2cm [1inch] & roll into a ball. i used a 6.5mm steel hook. all single crochet.
lots of ends to weave in
this took so long to make for two reasons,
1 i had to wait for the t-shirts
2 it is very hard on my hand & wrist so i could only work on it for short periods of time. i think it turned out great, now to keep Miss Sally Girl off it will be a challenge.

this mat is made up of hessian braided together & sewn together with brickies string. i made this for my foot peddle as i was sick of it sliding.

Love it, it looks great!
These look great, and what a great way to recycle. I must remember to try this with any of our old t shirts...
I love the t-shirt rug! Impressive way to recycle!! How do you wash it?
it is way too heavy for my washing machine so either hand wash or just beat it on the line like they use to do will all rag/braided rugs
