In reply to Hope. Autumn colors just don't quite do it for me. :) THanks!

So cute and simple. Love the use of bright colors instead of traditional autumn colors. So fun and awesome!

Thx Charlotte – I do have a sewing machine and my husband is actually the handier one with it – bobins are not my friend. I think I’ll give it a try – they’re cheap enough if I make a total disaster of it.

Hi Nancy! I LOVE that idea!!! I was able to use these rugs without really cutting, but the one hem I snipped did get a little messy. BUT…. do you have a sewing machine? I would sew a zig zag line to hold it in place, and then you could cut right on the opposite side of it! IF you don’t have as sewing machine, then maybe a local tailor could make a few lines for you to be safe! I would think, in theory, it would be easier to cut the width… just less scraps of fabric. Good luck!

Hi Charlotte – long time reader here. I’m toying with the idea of using rag rugs from Ikea to make a slipcover for my ottoman (it doesn’t go with the new sofa :/) I remember you used them to cover your stairs in your old house (I think) would the rug survive if i cut it ? Does it matter if the cut is the long way or the short way?Thanks for your opinion!
