What to do with 4-5 old pairs chinos that are way to big for 'his nibbs'
+ 1 nasty blanket
+ 1 flannel sheet
........................
Well I cut them up - ripped them into strips
Sewed them up randomly
Added blanket doubled with sheet doubled
=
1 thick warm floor rug runner
Broke 3 sewing machine needles .................... but result is a rather stunning rug
So surprised that a ramschackle bunch of naff old chinos and recycling a horrible pilled blanket made such a thick soft stunning rug!!
Not finished yet - deciding if I like the ragged edges or not ................ before I cut off the horrible orange padding and either fringe or neaten the side edges
Brilliant way to use up old jeans or any other old trousers - the bigger the better as get more fabric!
