making a loom out of that clothing rack is GENIUS
Thank you for honestly representing how much, time, effort, planning, and fabric you put into this project. So many tutorials (particularly on weaving/rugs) gloss over those aspects. The precision, measuring, cutting, making the tape, ironing are the key to this professional result. There's nothing wrong with "rustic" rag rugs, made with rough cut/torn fabric strips the irregularities are part of their beauty. Seeing your project reinforces that it is important to have realistic expectations. Perfection requires extra effort and planning.
Pure genius to use that clothing rack as a loom. Your rug is beautiful.
Welcome to my sewing room. Everything gets covered in denim “dust”. I make quilts with scraps. I understand how much time goes into deconstructing the jeans. It’s a labor of love. You have inspired me to try my hand at a rug. Wish me luck.
Thank you for making this video available in English! This [work of art] is very original. May you and your sewing ministry be blessed.
I could listen you to you talk all day. Your voice is beautiful, calm, and relaxing.
Next time you make one of these rugs (which I must say, are VERY beautiful!!), and you're struggling to find enough denim, go to your local charity shops, and ask them to save all the pairs of jeans that are not good enough for sale which would only end up in the rag bags. If you offer to pay more than the rag man, they'll happily save them for you. I ended up with about 50 pairs of jeans when I was looking for denim for a project by doing this, and it only cost me about £5 for the lot!!
Ooh, smart!
Excellent advice!😊
This is really neat. I would never have thought of this. It is beautiful. ❤❤

@@quix66hiya22 That's your choice, and I respect that. My choice is secondhand, to save the denim going into landfill, and I have no thoughts about 'where they have been', once I've washed and cleaned them thoroughly. I like to 'rescue' old clothing and turn it into something useable. That's just my preference. I do save a lot of money that way...just sayin ;-)
I enjoyed watching ,it would have been nice to see how you removed it from your loom and how to finish the edge. turned out really nice.
Как же красиво получилось, из джинсов очень нравятся коврики, браво 👏💯 хозяйке!!!
i love it wen ppl recycle,💚♻️ save d planet💞💞💞
Очень здорово👏✊👍 Во всех этих переработках старых вещей мне нравится, что это не ушло на свалку и не загрязнило природу. Коврик очень хороший
И отличная идея - задействовать вешалку как станок👌😊
Потрясающе! Очень классный цвет и переходы тонов. Представляю, как приятен такой коврик наощупь!😍
Большая трудяга!
Жаль только, что пустили ещё годные вещи, ведь много у кого есть действительно потрёпанные джинсы
Your rug turned out beautifully! And, I know you must have a lot of patience as this involved so much prep time as well as engineering your own loom. Enjoyed your video!
Now I know for what I collected all our old jeans for the last years 😂 Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial and sharing your experiences.
Вы проделали огромную работу.
Просто молодец!
Классный результат.
Золотые ручки.
What a great gift this would make, using someone’s loved one’s jeans as a ‘memory’ item. So many other ideas too, so glad this popped up in my feed thanks!
Thank you for your tutorial! I'm in the process of making my own rug now, following your directions. I bought four pairs of jeans (largest sizes I could find, just in case) at the thrift store for $10 (USD), used a seam ripper to take them apart, ironed all of the pieces, and am now in the process of cutting the strips. I bought some cotton rug warp (yarn) online, practiced tying a knot to keep it taut, and selected a rack in my apartment to use when I get to the weaving step. Thank you for your great video! I'm excited to see how my rug turns out, though it might be a while before it's finished. There are a lot of steps!
good luck ❤
Это неплохая утилизация старых джинс ,спасибо за подсказку и за подробное видео ❤😊
Absolutely beautiful! Another project where I turn to my friend and say, “Janice, we can do this.” I have never woven anything in my life.
I love weaving, and it's really easy to make a simple Loom as you did here...
Taking something that is no longer good for the use it was intended for, and creating something that is, is so satisfying!
This smaller version, is great for Placemats, and many smaller uses..
Well done!!! ❤
One of the best tutorials I’ve watched! Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Моя прабабушка 1913 г.р. такие вязала всю жизнь, кто бы тогда мог подумать,что спустя век это снова станет популярно 😁
Осталось дело за малым:соорудить такой станок.
@@user-qs1vz3pl3n ага )) да, блин, и времени дофига на это надо, хотя результат классный
Just stunning. It will last you for the rest of yr life. Thank you for shattering yr work.
Прекрасная работа. Очень аккуратно и стильно смотрится
Сколько работы! Ковер получился замечательный!
I have waisted so many denim. I am jealous of the rug. Masterpiece ❤
I love this! I makes me want to make one out of all the old jeans that are too small for me. Instead of sitting in my closet making me sad, I could make something beautiful out of them ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Did you start making one? 🤩
Figuring out a shuttle and how to create a “shed” would be so helpful.
For the shuttle you could sand down a paint stick and use a dremel to drill out an eye equal to the width of the strips with just a bit of give.
For the shed you could use a wide yard-stick. Weave it between the waft vertically and twist it horizontally to get a channel the push which the shuttle can slide.
Great work! I’d love to do this, maybe making 2 and sewing them as a living-room area rug.
*through which the shuttle…
I love this! Very inspiring! Even with all the prep work before the actual weaving.
Вот она, реальная смесь французского с нижегородским!!! Половик из джинсы! Мне понравилось. Никогда не думала освоить это ремесло, а тут прямо-таки захотелось
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! On my TO DO list for sure!
This was simply stunning. And even though I know it represents a lot of time and work, it makes me want to weave my own jeans rug. Thank you!
Y hay una more easy kortar tiras anchas al gusto hacer barbitas y pegar kon silikon x el medio komo las de las piñatas 😍🤩 this is wonderful
I made a quilt out of our old jeans and I really like this idea too. Your rug is so pretty!
Exactly the inspiration I needed without the fancy tools. Been looking for a kitchen rug lately but could not find what I needed. It’s either too short or long and not the color combination I want.
Your rug is amazing! Well done! Its a lot of work!
WELL DONE! Great way to show the whole idea!!! Beautiful. THANK YOU!
That's a really great rug! Well done!! I appreciate the honesty in showing the process. ♥️
Великолепный ковёр! Очень аккуратно и красиво!👍💖
Nice, and you could even occasionally weave in a strip or two of white jeans, and also use some colored thread.
Love it
Your rug is so beautiful! I love that you made it with only simple items.
Explained so well and I loved that you used regular tools that a sewer would have in their house and did not need specialized equipment.
Your rug has the most appealing color gradation of all the inspiration photos you shared. I love how it is darker on the outsides and lighter with asymmetrical but balanced striping throughout the center. My top insipration!
Such an amazing labor of love! It is gorgeous and you are so patient
Супер идея, как раз накопилось 10-12 старых джинсов, все не знала куда их использовать (выкинуть жалко). Теперь знаю) Счастья рукодельнице
Take my breath away beautiful!! So glad I stumbled by. 😊. I may give it a go. Reminds me of the potholders I used to make in grade school only on a much larger scale! Thanks for the memory. 💞
This turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
Ooo groovy! What was that little jean tape folder thing? That's what I've been looking for!
You ROCK! Thanks for the valuable lesson!

@@LenaBritArtist Awesome! Thanks!
This is the most inspiring video tutorial I have seen on making this type of rug. I just wish she showed us how she attached each length of denim as she came to the end of each during weaving.
At the beginning, she showed sewing together with zig zag stitch on her machine. Probably still did that.
Brilliant!! I'm so inspired. I'm a quilter and go to thrift stores (charity stores) to buy interesting old men's shirts for my quilting pieces. Great idea on getting old denim there too.
I have zero sewing skills, but I *loved* watching this. I will certainly use it at some point if I can.
this is not a rug, it's a piece of art!
Your rug is impeccable! It came out perfectly!
I see a lot of cool projects using old jeans, but all my old jeans are stretch denim and not very stable. I can get around this by adding lightweight stabilizer for quilting or sewing projects, but for weaving, I worry the spandex fibers would compromise the shape and structure. I have made things out of other garments, though. Weaving is so great for using up all kinds of fibers!
While a lot of people are inspired and motivated to make crafts in a whirlwind weekend of fun, these types of scrappy projects are really the sort of thing that are stop-and-go tests of patience, because it often takes several years just to accumulate the materials (if you're sourcing it all from your own waste), so they are just perpetually in a state of ongoing. I admire your dedication to chronicle the entire process!
Watching you cut everything with scissors made my hands hurt and reminded me of when I made my first quilt by cutting out triangles by hand 💀 For fast strip cutting, a rotary cutter with acrylic ruler and cutting mat would help a lot!
If you want a way to keep the denim strips from opening up during weaving, you could stick them together with a water-based glue stick, and the glue will wash out in the laundry.
Absolutely brilliant using an upright wardrobe rack! I've been using picture frames and leaning them at an angle (I sit on the floor). Your wardrobe rack allows for a longer piece as well as a lighter weight and vertical placement that is easier on the back.
Plus the bottom wrack isn’t exactly below the top so you still get a nice angle.
It's a rag rug (räsymatto). In Finland, every home has something like this. They are made with looms(kangaspuut) at home. A good idea if you don't own a loom. I made the first carpets for my own home when I was 20 years old.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Класс! Ленты лучше сшивать под углом 45°. Шов будет более плоский
😮 OMG!!! Thank you so much for posting this video and sharing your ideas. I just started weaving as a hobby and have been trying to figure out how to make a large loom at home so I can make blankets and your use of the clothes rack is genius. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it. I have one sitting in my home office and was going to give it away. I also have lots of denim from previous denim projects my mom and I made together. ❤ I’m going to use the denim and the clothes rack to make a rug like yours.
I thought the same; briljant idea!!!
Sally Pointer, on you tube has a demonstration of making a rustic weighted floor loom. She demonstrates ancient skills. You might take a look, she makes the whole concept pretty clear
Beautiful rug! I would love to see how you actually manage such a long ribbon when weaving. So much effort but the end result was well worth it. I would love to try :)
This is a really beautiful rug that you created, and I loved watching your ideas on the video. Thanks for sharing your ideas and process. Greatly appreciated. ❤👖
Very beautiful carpet, thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful rug! Thank you for sharing!
Wow! I love the rug! Your homemade 'loom' is brilliant. I am definitely going to try this out.
This is such a good idea for reusing jeans. Jeans are hard for companies to reuse the material and it costs so much energy to make them including a lot of water from what i hear. But that rug turned out so beatiful it makes me want to make one. You have a great talent and could probably make some money from that. That rug will hold up for a while i believe. Thanks for sharing!! 😊❤
Your rug turned out beautiful!
Really lovely carpet!! Would you agree that acrylic knitting yarn could be used for the strings?
Do you think several carpets could be stitched together to make a larger sized carpet?
Many thanks for sharing your project!❤
GORGEOUS!! Thanks for the tutorial!
VERY BEAUTIFUL WORK. BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS!
Your rug is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
She has such a beautiful voice ❤
Such a lot of work but so satisfying when it is done! Beautiful results.
I love how your rug turned out! Thanks for sharing the process. I would like to make a smaller one for the front door and some placemats, using the denim strips. Feeling inspired 😊❤️
Your rugs are BEAUTIFUL!
I’ve been saving and collecting old jeans-in both blue and black-and I am planning to use them to make bags and totes. However, I am now also planning to make some small rugs for my travel trailer (I think you might call it a caravan).
Thank you so much for your fabulous tutorial and tips! I’m now subscribed to your channel, and I am looking forward to watching both your past and future videos.
Stay well!

Beautiful work! So perfectly made. 💐
Gorgeous Jean rug!! Great tutorial too.
Beautiful job! I love the color(s) of denim and plan to use it in my next place. This was so clear. And think of all the fabric we are not just throwing away!
Thankyou so much for sharing this and including the steps as well as the honesty about how much work it is to recycle the denim!! I have subscribed to your channel
That is so beautiful!!!!
Это невероятная работа!!! Столько терпения и мастерства! Спасибо!😍
Fascinating!! Thank you for showing and explaining your process. Truly a beautifully recycled and repurposed denim rug
It looks beautiful! I love it
I have been collecting jeans for a room sized rug I wanted to crochet. I have at least 50 pair. We have a free trading FB group in the US where you can ask for things toy need, or give things away. No cash is ever exchanged. I was able to ask the community for jeans that they intended to throw away. Rips, stains, didn’t care just cut out the problem areas. I got them all for free and kept a lot of fabric out of the landfill.
Unfortunately, I can no longer crochet due to arthritis, but I have taken up weaving, so I do appreciate your video!
That is gorgeous! ❤
Love the look of this rug TFS the process .. GREAT JOB
Absolutely stunning!!!
Thank you for sharing this video, I was looking for a project to use my old jeans. Will be trying this soon.
It IS stunning. Beautiful and utilitarian since denim wears forever! Well taught; thank you for sharing. Danielle
You are very talented!
Congratulations and hope to see more pieces of art from you.
Lovely blue rugs!
Wow! What an amazing project. I have a lot of old denim from torn jeans. I really want to do one! Thanks for showing the process!
Great idea, beautiful work. I love it ❤ thanks for sharing this 👍
Very very beautiful. Love these 🌞
That would make an awesome blanket for folks who live in the cold climates! My gals in CO might like to cuddle up under this next to the fire pit while drinking hot cocoa! This truly is beautiful! Thanks for your hard work and dedication!
Wonderful work. Thanks for sharing this process. Thank you From Chile.
Very talented, and such an eye for detail!
I love this! Do you just tie the ends of the strings at the edge? What kind of string is best to use? I even love the tiny one you made!!
