Sew, Sew Saturday...3 Rugs to 1

If you're new to Sew Many Ways, I make it a point to make an appointment with my self to have some time for sewing. The weekdays are so crazy with work and what not, Saturdays seem to do the trick for me. They could be big project or little ones like today's post, but sewing is sewing. Maybe you can join me this Sew Sew Saturday!!

A few years ago, I purchased 3 small rugs at a tent sale. It's the type of sale where you fill a bag for one price. These 3 rugs were some of things I put in that bag.

At that time, I needed a small runner, so I decided to sew 2 of the rugs together. Worked great for the spot I needed at that time. Now I need a longer one, so I sewed on the third one and thought I would share the idea with you.



Just connect the 2 rugs with a thick heavy duty thread and big needle.


I sewed big whip stitches...ignore the dog hair. We have a yellow lab and I swear I can vacuum and the hair weaves itself into the fabric.


I thought of another idea to connect the two rugs or to secure your stitches...the ever popular Duct Tape.

The spot where the rug is doesn't get much traffic...it's just in a little hallway going into our master bath. Maybe the Duct Tape will hold...I'll let you know.

The stitches have been there for years though, so that I can attest to!


Here are the 3 rugs attached and in the narrow hall going into the master bath and the other fur ball we have...Hallie


Great idea to "make" a rug that will suit your needs. Buy 2 or 3 cheap rugs in the color you need and make the right size for your area.

Look for rugs on sale too...you know we all love a bargain!!

I hope you have a Sew, Sew Saturday,
