We tend not to read carefully, skip parts of directions, and substitute items called for in the original pin so let's not blame the pinner. That said, I am glad I'm not the only one who came out with a bowl instead of a rug. I think my main problem came from not stretching the T shirts tight enough before starting to weave and then thinking it would look better pulled nice and tight. Yup got a bowl of sorts.Hmmmmmaybe that's an idea.....starch it up and call it a bowl instead of a rug. Mine isn't very big either. I'm going to try it again maybe this summer with my granddaughters. If someone could do this with 1st graders, my 3rd and 4th graders should be able to do it and they won't feel bad if it doesn't come out perfect the first time cause grandma's didn't either. If at first you don't succeed....Jfergie46https://www.blogger.com/profile/06715584175678799283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-90209962163897160492013-05-12T16:42:45.228-06:002013-05-12T16:42:45.228-06:00Mine turned out like a sombrero.

I've had a snafu on one of them from pulling the shirt strips tight. The strips should not be pulled. Also, on my hoop I marked the place where the strips should go so there is no guess work on that part. When I have the strips on for the framework I measure where the middle is and tie the middle with a couple of strips to hold it all in place. Once I finish the rug I just cut those ties off. You do have to push the strips down as you go. This takes a while for me to make, but everyone who has received one loves it!! This is one craft project I will continue for a long time. I have yet to be able to make one for me!! I keep getting requests for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-16937748937032909852012-11-08T19:09:56.494-07:002012-11-08T19:09:56.494-07:00I made the smaller version on a large embroidery h...I made the smaller version on a large embroidery hoop using cut up onesies.
