I have a partial rug that was being made about 60
years ago by my great aunt.
She died before finishing it.
She used the handle of a toothbrush to “sew” the
strips of fabric together. (She treaded the fabric
strips
through the hole of the toothbrush). The rug appears
to be oval in shape. My Mama and I have unravelled a
portion but can not figure it out. It is not crochet)
If
anyone knows how to make this rug please let me know.
Thanks

Beverly, Those are great instructions. I don't know if
at this stage of life, I'll start one but I love the idea.
They would
make great hot pads though, if you think on a small scale.
Right now I'll stick with doll clothes and some things
for me. Juno

Speaking of which, I delivered the last of my donation capes
yesterday. AND I found the folder where I stored all my
custom AG doll clothes patterns. YAY!

I have a couple of alterations jobs in the queue,
(shortening sleeves on two jackets for younger DD, at the
cap not the hem because they have *cut* buttonholes in the
vents! erk!) but I should be able to scan and/or trace off
the AG patterns soon. I haven't forgotten. ;-}
