From rags to rugses

I’ve started making another rag rug for the house. I started off with lots of rags – Michael’s trousers which were in the mending basket for a second time and therefore were automatically relegated to the rag pile plus two skirts. I started cutting a third skirt into strips and remembered too late that it was in the mending basket because I was intending to mend it, not turn it into rag strips – oops! Halfway through, I ran out of rag strips but managed to resist the temptation (just!) to start cutting up other clothes just so I can finish it!
