Use it up, wear it out, make it do, do without. This was a common proverb from more frugal days. In earlier generations, we were not so quick to dispose of items. We mended them, patched them, and re-purposed them. Rag rugs and mats have their genesis in times of hardship. Today these sturdy items are much valued for their charm and durability.

During garage sale season we hit the road in search of old bed sheets. We bring them home, launder them, cut them into strips and then crochet them into rugs. Our pricing is very low compared to the time and effort we put into these and mats, but since we love making them, and since we crochet them during relaxation time, we are content with prices we charge.

They are one of a kind using what we have on hand. We crochet these very tightly for a thick and durable rug. All rugs and mats are machine wash gentle and machine dry or lay flat to dry. We remove them from the dryer while still slightly damp and lay flat to finish drying. Because some fabrics fray more than others you may notice some fraying after washing. This does not harm the mat, nor does it detract from durability. We find that it adds charm and character.

We hope you love our rugs and mats as much as we enjoy making them!

Primitive blessings, and thank you for looking!
