Ruche Rug. Recycled Sewn Denim Scatter Rug. Here's a denim rug recycled from a variety of thinner denim fabrics, such as those used for shirts or skirts. Joyce, the designer, drew inspiration from her Grandma B's hand-made scatter rugs, usually made with non-fraying double-knits. Although the denim version does fray, especially after washing, the homespun look that results has an appeal all its own. Joyce's denim rug is shown, above left, after completion, and at right, after washing and drying.
Two jumpers, one dress, a pair of denim slacks, a work shirt and old denim skirt were all used in the construction. If you'd like to make your own, you'll need lots of denim to cut up into small rectangles, plus a larger section of thicker denim (pieced together to get the size you need, if necessary), as the backing.
