This is gorgeous! I have so many ideas: throw pillow (one side like this, the other smooth), small purse, I may even use this method to decorate a pair of slides (shoes) I have... just the front. Thank you for making it so simple.

I see you have a Bengal girl as talkative as mine. I just love the way they answer you when you speak. Also good demo of rag rugging too.

My Auntie and Nana made these rugs for years but very large. I have only made 2 so far and just starting on the 3rd. I've been using their old wooden prodder tools and started suffering very painful cramps in my fingers. Never seen this tool your using !! Definitely going to buy one ❤

I love those subtle colours. Tried this with wool but I'd like to do some with rag strips.

Love the colours of this one, very luxurious 😊. Do you think you could add beading/embellishments on top of these type rugs? Would it work 😊

Hi!! Tengo esa herramienta y arpillera. Cómo se cortan las telas para hacer la alfombra de trapo? Muchas gracias. Primera vez que veo su canal, me gusta y me suscribí.

Hello thank you for subscribing. Yes they are cut into strips of fabric you decide the length and then trim them down. Enjoy!

Hi, Sally: I love this project (and your channel)! Is there much of a problem with fraying/unraveling with woven fabrics? I assume you don't necessarily cut them on the bias. By the way, we call Hessian cloth Burlap in the USA (and in Canada, too, apparently). In my mother's and grandmothers' stuff, I found some crochet hooks (some with a kind of self-closing flange over the hook) that I'd like to try. So many projects, so little time! Many thanks, Mike

Thanks Mike satin can fray yes. You can also use this with cotton fabric...

We called it sacking. But we also use the canvas with the holes in.

Is this how the old rag rugs were made rather than hooking? I have seen a mesh used with a hook before. Does the fabric stay in place without looping it together ( if you know what I mean?)

@didsburyartstudio 10 ай бұрын

Yes defo stays in place!

@irisatkinson1616 8 ай бұрын

My mother used the mesh, or canvas just after the war. We usually pulled it through to knot it which makeds it secure, but its very hard on the hands.

@@irisatkinson1616 thankyou, tying would take a long time. I started my rug. I can only do a small amount at a time now it is growing. As you say it is hard on the hands and wrists. It is strangely relaxing though 😄

@@didsburyartstudio I did buy one of them but I still like my grandmothers old one she used in the 1940's/50's I also use the wooden measure that I was gifted which was in Amazon. You just cut your widths in long pieces, then wrap it around the wooden measure. (sorry do not know the name). Then cut through where the groove is to get even pieces.

Thank you for your reply, l'd be hopeless at this. I just recognised them, My great aunts still had small ones on their floors in the 70s, they were known as hooky mats. Working class people and very poor people saved rags and old material to make and cover there floors. X

We were from outer London and my Mother and grandmother made them too, just like these unlike the ''crochet'' ones, these were very popular.

How do you keep them from coming out?

@didsburyartstudio Ай бұрын

hi because the lengths are tightly compact they don't come out.
