Tshirt Shag Rug

There are few things so lovely to step onto after a shower or whenever you're in bare feet than a thick, yummy, shag rug.  If you then make the shag rug out of upcycled teeshirts, it's all the better. 

I live in Texas, it's been 105 for weeks.  I live in bare feet and have a tiled floor.  I am in serious need of soft and squishy.

You can toss this thing into the washer and dryer.  Just shake it and stretch it back into whatever shape you need.  It's a wonderful, wonderful thing. 

Want instructions?  

Here they are:  

Take one teeshirt and fold it, serge the edges to be the size of a rug you'd like.

Rotary cut teeshirts into 2x3 inch rectangles.  I can't give you amounts, it depends on what size rug you want.

I sewed the rectangles together through the middles, squished, into very long pieces.  I attached them to the pencil lines.

Voila, very happy toe making t-shag rug!  I'll be putting it on Etsy in the not too distant future, I'll update the link here.  In the meantime, think about your happy feet in this rug!
