Finally my rug tutorial is done =) First I doesn't post any thing or read any blogs for almost a whole month, and now I post once a week ;)
Before the vacation I got hooked in making rya/long pile rugs. First I had a pattern in my mind, but it was impossible to make it like I wanted, so I changed the pattern, and then change again, and I was quite pleased with the pattern even if it was completely different to the vision in my head =) I started thinking of a new pattern, and started another rug =) But still, the pattern was not what I planed.. But it was OK =) And then I gave it a third try, still not at all what I planned, but nice. So I'm very good at making rugs I first not planed on making ;)

I have already given you a sneak peak on this black and white rug. And now I wanted to show you how I did. I looked at a video on youtube, for real size rugs. And then I scaled down and tried and this is what I made =)
If you try this tutorial, please let me know, I'd love to see your rug =)
And if you like the music on this video you can hear more here: www.boray.se
And if you are a bit curious about me, you get to see at least one picture of my husband by clicking that link ;) Since "Boray" is my husband =)
Take care

WooW! Looks great! I have just added this to my 'To Do'-list.

Thank you Pirkko! It did take me a few tries to understand the technique, but once I understood it was quite easy, takes some time, but I always found needlework very calming and a great way to keep my hands busy, so I guess I'll be doing more of these =)
DeleteHope you try it out when you get the time, I'll be keeping my eyes open for it on your blog =)
Прекрасная идея! Спасибо за урок!

Thank you for your interest in my tutorial Tatiana!
DeleteCute hubby, Hannah! :-) I watched your tutorial too. Nice rug, and it looks like I could make a rug using your tutorial too! Thanks! Now I just have to find the time. ;-) xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer! My husband is the best =)
DeleteHope you will try it too, time is always an issue, but I like keeping my hands busy, so I prefer doing some stitches while I'm relaxing in front of the TV =) And some days I just stitch now and then as soon as I sit down =)
What a fantasic tutorial hon!! Oh and to have a talented musician as a hubby to go with your great video, lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteThe rug looks amazing, someday I may venture away from clay and go to cloth and thread..but for now I will leave it to my talented friends ;)
Hugs~J
Thank you Jane! I'm very lucky, he did help me with the video too, he's both great with music and computers =)
DeleteWow it must have taken so much time to finish! Thank you for this tutorial. You make it seem so simple! You have very beautiful hands by the way! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane! It took me a month or so to do the rug, but I didn't work on it every day =) And then I had great help from my husband to do the video =) It's not that hard to stitch this, when you understand the technique you just need a little time and then you have a rug =)
DeleteAnd thank you, when I was younger I always thought I had too long and skinny fingers.. but now I'm happy the way I am, or at least I try to be .. =)
Muchas gracias por el estupendo tutorial!!
ReplyDeleteBesos.

Hej vilken fin matta
ReplyDeleteVad har du använt för storlek på din aida??
Britt

Tack! Jag har köpt aida väven på loppis, och vet inget om storlekar på dem, men en ruta är 3mm bred, hoppas det hjälper =)
DeleteHej!
DeleteRäkna hur många rutor det är på 1 cm då vet jag storleken
Tack Britt
4 rutor på 1cm
DeleteFenomenal Hannah!!! Queda preciosa y blandita. Gracias por enseñarnos como hacerla.
ReplyDeleteThank you Isabel =)
DeleteWhat a fantastic tutorial - thank you for all the work you've put into it (and your hubby, too). An awesome way to create a long pile rug.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Birgit
Thanks Birgit! It was fun creating my first video =)
DeleteWhat a great way to present your tutorial to us: the video in combination with the wonderful music makes that it looks so easy :D! But I think it will take quite some time to achieve this wonderful result!
ReplyDeleteCan you pass on my compliments to your husband for his wonderful music? I've enjoyed hearing his music :D!
Thank you for making and sharing this wonderful tutorial with us all, Hannah :D!
Have a nice weekend. Hugs, Ilona
Thank you Ilona! It does take some time to finish a rug, but I work faster and faster the more I sew =) I'm almost done with another one =)
DeleteAnd thank you for the kind words about the music too, my husband is a great musician, he plays all instrument by himself, I have to say that I'm very proud of him =) (I know he took a look at the comments here yesterday, I'll ask him to check back again, to see your compliments too) =)
Hope you have a nice weekend too!
What a great crafter you are! I think both you and your hubby are very talented! The rug looks fantastic. I background music is very nice. Thanks for the tutorial video. It makes me want to try.
ReplyDeleteThank you Chloe Liu! I hope you give it a try someday =)
DeleteYour Tute and rug look very nice! Love the color. I cannot wait to see where you put it!
ReplyDeleteMini smiles, Conny
Thank you Conny! I have no idea where to put it =) I made it because I enjoyed it and now I have nowhere to put it, but I might find a place for it one day, or I might try selling it =)
DeleteAwesome tutorial! Love the video. It was so professionally done. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lindsey! It's my first video so it was nice to hear you liked it!
DeleteFantastic tutorial Hannah thank you very much for sharing. Your rug is beautiful it looked fantastic with the white dog sitting on it. I loved your husbands music also.
ReplyDeleteHugs Maria
Thank you Maria! Nice to hear you liked it =)
DeleteSuper tutorial! Thanks! And your husband has great music. Wow! A talented couple!!
ReplyDeletehugs♥,
Caroline
Thank you Caroline!!
DeleteI don't think I would have the patience to do a large rug, but I might try it one day for a welcome mat, maybe a bathmat too. It's a great technique! Thanks for making the video :) And I love the monochrome rug in the video too! x
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! Welcome mat or bathmat sound great, I hope you'll try later =) I thought of doing a bathmat myself, but I'm thinking of a plastic bathmat too, I always have such hard time deciding, I might do both and try which I like the best =)
DeleteTack Berite! Lycka till om du testar du med =)
