Warm Up Your Throw Rug

23/5/2013

Do you have a throw rug that's looking a bit drab? Why not back it with some fur and create a snugly, glamorous rug to keep you warm this Winter.

What you need:
- a throw rug or piece of fleece fabric that measures 150cm x 170cm
- a piece of wadding 150cm x 180cm
- a piece of fur 150cm x 180cm
- decorative buttons x 17
- quilting thread
- sewing needle
- scissors
- pins
- a big floor space or table

What to do:
1. Lay the fur flat on the ground pile down.

2. Lay the wadding flat, on top of the fur.

3. Lay the fleecy throw rug flat over the wadding.

4. Starting in the middle of the rug, pin three layers together. Work your way out to the edges, doing your best to keep all layers perfectly flat.
*Tip: It's helpful to line up the selvedges of the fur with the finished edge of the throw rug. Avoid cutting the selvedge of the fur and throw. It will save you time when you stitch up the sides.

5. Using long stitches, tack all three layers together. Tack around the outside edge and through the middle (like a grid).

6. Permanently stitch the three layers together by either hand quilting, machine stitching or by using decorative buttons (with fur I think buttons work best).

7. Trip the fur and wadding 5cm shorter  than the throw rug on the top and bottom edges, then fold the edge of the throw over onto the fur and hand stitch in place.

8. Finish the sides by sandwiching the wadding between the selvedge of the fur and the edge of the throw and hand stitch together.
I'd love to see your Revamped throw rug creations! As always, please share pictures on our Facebook page and keep the ideas flowing. I'm off to bed now to snuggle under my new, fury rug. xo
