Shag Bag From Recycled T-Shirts

Step 6 Sew on T-shirt Strips

Start at one end of the hemmed backing fabric, and sew on your t-shirt strips. Check out the rug Instructable for better pictures. (Blood, remember? Right!)

I didn't use the tape suggestion, but instead grabbed strips by 2's and 3's and shoved them under my sewing machine's presser foot - it worked quite well, so I didn't have any incentive to plan farther ahead.  (I'd made nice tidy bundles of each color t-shirt strips, which was more than enough preparation in my book.)

Keep sewing in your pre-arranged order until you've made your way half-way down the backing fabric.
