Chevron Rug. I've got some fun Reader DIY posts lined up that I'm really excited about.
First up is an amazing painted rug project! Reader Miggy was inspired by this LGN post and by Nick Olson's painted chevron rug. She picked up a $30 white flatweave rug from IKEA, similar to this one: Ruffle T-Shirt Pillow. Pillow!
I started with one of my old t-shirts, cutting 1 1/2 in wide strips from it. Using the longest stitch, I sewed right down the middle of each strip. I ruffled each strip by pulling the bottom thread and easing the gathering along the thread. This takes a while so I sat and watched a couple of episodes of Veronica Mars while I did it. I really miss that show.
