Just finished these place mats yesterday. It has been an eventful project. First I tried to make 4 place mats side by side, out of t-shirts to use up the last of the warp. The left side got tangled and snarled and I didn't have the patience to mess with it.
So it was taken off and the loom rewarped for the last two place mats. That went well, for once and then I realized that I didn't have enough material to finish them! So a trip to Good Will and the other thrift shops with one of our daughters commenced.
Well, we couldn't just buy the t-shirts to finish up, could we? We found books, fashion boots, a jacket, and many clothes for my little grandson. In Good Will it was an adventure, scouring the racks holding the fabric strips to compare. We did match the colors, amazingly enough. And here are the end results. Hope the next adventure is easier and less costly.
