RUGS MADE FROM OLD RAGS
Hone-made rugs offer the means
of providing attractive floor cov
erings while at some time furnish
ing a source of enjoyable handi
craft and a solution to the pro
blem of an overstuffed "rag bag".
Because a home-made rug, what
ever kind, must be carefully made
to be effective and bring lasting
pleasure, it is well to give
thought to several items before
the actual process of construction
begins. Size, shape, color, and
design of a rug prove most sat
isfying if planned definitely for
the space where it will be placed.
The room in which a rug is
to be used will indicate to some
extent the fabric to be used.
Cotton rags in lighter colors make
better rugs for bedroom and kit
Ichen than the living room. Woolen
rags mare a heavier rug and take
dye in v ch a way as to.make the
deeper richer colors desirable -
(for the living’room* . feurlap bags
are good material for rugs to be
used in the kitchen or entry and
on the door step. Woven silk'
makes satisfactory table mats and
ichair seats but as a rule are not
desirable enough for floor rugs.
It is not advisable to use fabrics
of different weights in one'rug,
but if this must be done, care
should be taken that fabrics sel
ected have* an equal wearing qual
ity.
In preparation of the strips,
the weight, kind of material, de
gree of durability and the method
by, which the rug is to be made
will determine how wide the strips
of, material to.be used must be
cut. Strips are best joined by
a ^diagonal seam for such rugs as
the braided, wound or woven type.
Lay the ends of two strips' to
gether at right angles, letting
the ends pass one fourth inch..
Sew diagonally, cut off' corners,
and press seam open. This dis
tributes hulk and makes for a
smoother surface.
