I tend to ramble here. I have a post waiting to be edited because it basically tells my life story as an intro to my new craft. I am trying to settle myself down a little. So here goes!
New craft - doing a braided tshirt rug. I'm going to be doing a presentation to some ladies at church, so I figure I should make one so I know what I'm doing!
Tonight I spent 90 minutes cutting up 5 L/XL tshirts. Tada!
I chopped them up into strips between 2-6 feet and I'll be randomly pulling them from the bag to have all 5 shades mixed throughout. I hope I like the effect. ( I also hope this makes an ok size rug. No other tutorial is very clear about what number of tshirts makes what size rug. So we'll see, I guess.)
Tomorrow I'll start braiding. (I did a mini version of this, like coaster size, as a preview for the ladies and I really enjoyed the process, so I'm looking forward to some mindless braiding as I listen to TED talks or watch Netflix or listen to a book on tape or something.)
til next time...
