I decided to make a rug. It's a decision that all women must make at some point in their lives and I have.
Eyeballing the space on my floor I decided to make a rug 80cm by 45cm, using scraps of fabric I already have, and to make it look like this.
I used a post on A Beautiful Mess for directions.
To make it the correct size I need strips of fabric that are 155cm long, so the colour scheme made need to change based on what fabric I actually have. Which is this:
I then cut the fabric into thin strips and plaited them into several long plaits.
I then glued the plaits onto a piece of weird blue fabric I had, that was nice and sturdy.
I sewed along the edges of each plait, making sure to go through to the material underneath, then trimmed the edges to make them look intentionally uneven rather than the unintentionally uneven they were. And the finished result:
