Craft: Rag Rug from Recycled Fleece Clothing

| Rag Rug From Recycled Fleece Clothing |
I have just joined the site and thought you might like to see a rug made from recycled fleece jackets. They are very cheap to buy in the charity shops, there are some brilliant colors and make a super rug. Animals particularly like the cozy feel and I suppose they could be made with the name of the dog/cat.
For a large rug, hessian needs to be fixed on to a stretcher and needs to be quite taught. Cut fleece garments or throws into long half inch strips and work with holding the strip under the hessian and poking a hook.
I used a large crochet hook, through the hessian and picking up a loop through the hole. I continued with loops close to each other following the design drawn on the hessian with marker pen, leaving a border for folding under.
I used double sided carpet tape to fold the edges over but copydex is good. I then covered the back and glued the edges of a square of hessian tucking in a hem for neatness.
