An Introduction to Rag Rugs

Turn old clothes and textiles into unique, decorative, useful projects!

Finding new uses for worn-out clothing and scraps of fabric is a long tradition—and nowadays, with so many colors and textures to choose from, the experience can be like painting with rags. You can use the simple, traditional techniques in this book to design and make your own one-off items for your home—or delightful handmade gifts. You can even improvise as you work—if a fabric runs out, then use another!
