The long narrow rug fits next to the wall below the coat hooks in my mud room. Perfect muddy boots to sit on.
The square one is just one of many used all the time. It needs washing :oops:

Curious, how many jeans pockets have you removed? Those suckers are sewn to STAY!
I'll have to remember that. I just tried the seam ripper. Took a lot of work!

Yes, I use the denim damp for the overdye. I take it from the soda ash soak and wring it out good. If you are uncomfortable using fruit jars, use old mayo or peanut butter jars, they are plastic and you can't 'over-cram' them enough to break. The dye spreads better on damp fabric, but if you want an more angular 'broken glass' looking pattern, use it after it has dried.

What unusual and cool ideas she has! I love the little Sweet Pea jacket.
