Diy Braided Rag Rug

In order to make the woven rug shown in the top picture look up four strand braided rag rugs i make them using a four strand braid where you loup the fourth strand into the previous row.
Diy braided rag rug. Push your chair back and braid another few feet of yarn. Then simply continue sewing. I have made braided and crochet rag rugs and also woven i used sheets and even died some i needed bright red of course. There are lots of diy posts about rag rugs out there but most of them just left me confused.
Anyway i trim off the corners of the sheet to make more of an oval shape and cut a continuous oval out of the sheets the gradual turn in the fabric didn t seem to make a difference. When you reach the end of the braided yarn push the sewing machine needle to the down position so that it is stuck inside your rug and leave your sewing machine foot down. Trust me on this i have looked. The video photos help tremendously and the directions are the most concise i found.
Fortunately this braided rag rug tutorial by megan nielsen is excellent and most likely the best you re going to find.
