Monday

I'm cleaning and organizing my

"NEW to me" sewing room.

My almost married daughter found

an apartment this weekend.

 

I didn't waste any time.

She's gone...

and I'm IN!!!

LOL!

 

As I moved things around I came across this little

nametag/pin.

 

Don't think I've shared about it before.

If I have...

you'll have to see it again.

;)

These are supposed to be flowers in the pot.

I covered heavy duty interfacing for the pot

and machine stitch doodled on top.

I used some light weight wire for the stems.

 

You can see how I attached it all on the back here.

Kind of messy.  :/

But it does the trick.

I also have a finished rug!!

Made with t-shirt yarn.

Woven on my trip...

and...

Ready for the shop!

 

Happy Monday to you!

still weaving

I'm still weaving.

:)

Between sewing projects I have been managing to

warp up the loom...

and weave something!

 

This time I used thin strips of fleece!

What I got is an

Amazingly SOFT woven rug.

Kind of like a t-shirt rag woven rug...

EXCEPT ...

it's SOooo soft!!!

 

For you knitters and crotcheters out there....

Have you made anything with strips of fleece????

Curious minds want to know.

;)

 

Trying out bloglovin'

Ugly fabric. Ugly Yarn.

If this corner of blogland is quiet the next couple of days....

It'll be because I'm OFF!

I'll be getting to know our new travel trailer!

;)

And...

I'll be walking around on my NEW RUG!!!

Hand WOVEN on my LOOM!

I used up some of my OLD. UGLY.

POLYESTER. YARN!!!

Why do I even own this yarn???

Not sure.

;)

I also used some

OLD. UGLY. FABRIC!

So happy to find a USE for this yardage

that doesn't do ANYTHING AT ALL for me!!

Why do I own it??

Not sure about that one either.

:/

Actually....

the pepper fabric is not that bad looking..

especially in the photo.

But....

It's a VERY CHEAP cotton

and I've become "fussy" in what I quilt with these days.

;)

I pieced 1 1/2" wide strips into VERY long

skeins of "yarn".....

and ended up with THIS!!!!

A FREE RUG!!!

That didn't turn out ugly....

Despite....using.....

UGLY YARN....and....

UGLY fabric!!!

;)

Looming Along!

A new RUG!!!

Just right.

Just right...

JUST right.

I DID have some colored balls of  t-shirt yarn......

But once I got going with the OLD white t-shirts....

I didn't want to leave!

The Golden stripes are Cotton YARN.

There are some GREAT how-to tips here.

(Thank you Barbara!)

I think the NEXT rug will have some COLOR!!!
