As soon as I get even one person who is interested, I'll start posting some of my handouts from my classes, more pictures and be ready to answer questions.
I'm most definitely interested!

Just wondering if you are still willing to show us how to make a rug.
I'm collecting tee shirts -- that's the desired material, yes? What I'd like to know is if there is a way to guesstimate how much material needs to be gathered for a given amount of rug. Such as, if a person wanted to make a 2' x 3' rug, about how many tee shirts? If we knew that, then we could just multiply to make a 4' x 3' or a 6' x 3' rug, for example.
Thanks!

I wrote to you in a post above...just a few replies back up this page.
There is a setting where you can watch this thread and get an email when there is a reply and in addition you can set a 'word' in your profile...your name or any thing else...then you will get a notification by email when that word is used. I have 'judith' set and it's very helpful.
You can also check 'notify when reply is posted' below the reply box before submitting a post.
Yes, I'm still available for questions...the 'class' itself is posted as handouts and photos beginning on page one of this thread. I might repost some on this page if that would be useful?
As to number of t shirts...way more than you would think because the rugs are very thick![]()
A finished 2' X 3' rug weighs 3-4 pounds...so half again that much because there is a bit of waste when seams, hems etc are unused.
I never counted tshirts...just chose them by the bagful at our local thrift store and always kept a rainbow of strips cut to use.

...use jpg numbers to put them in order and feel free to print them.
If you follow from the first page of this thread, handouts are in order along with photos and questions and discussion.

I also look for and buy men's cotton dress shirts for quilting fabric. Happy to find this site. I was originally looking for the conversation between God and St. Francis about our lawns and the silliness of man's desire to tame it! Happy day!
