Rag rugs fascinate me. To this day (75+ years later), I remember lying on the floor at my granmothers house and staring at her rag rugs. I would try to identify all the rags used in her rugs. There would be strips of aprons, house dresses, my play clothes, nighties and oh so many familiar clothes. Have saved directions for making rag rugs for years, but alas, have never actually saved enough material to make one.

Could you post the directions?

A dear friend of mine used to make baskets out of rags. I wish I had asked how how she did it - they were so cute and make good use of leftover clothes. (She has since passed away.) She was in the 80's and was of the generation that didn't waste anything. Thinking back about all she told me about her life, I am even more saddened at the waste and materialism of today.
