Pure genius to use that clothing rack as a loom. Your rug is beautiful.
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 ;-)
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
One of the best tutorials I’ve watched! Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
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!
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? 🤩
Как же красиво получилось, из джинсов очень нравятся коврики, браво 👏💯 хозяйке!!!
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.
Just stunning. It will last you for the rest of yr life. Thank you for shattering yr work.
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!!! ❤
I have waisted so many denim. I am jealous of the rug. Masterpiece ❤
Your rug is so beautiful! I love that you made it with only simple items.
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.
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.
this is not a rug, it's a piece of art!
WELL DONE! Great way to show the whole idea!!! Beautiful. THANK YOU!
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.
This turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
Вы проделали огромную работу.
Просто молодец!
Классный результат.
Золотые ручки.
Such a lot of work but so satisfying when it is done! Beautiful results.
Nice, and you could even occasionally weave in a strip or two of white jeans, and also use some colored thread.
Love it
😮 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
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. 💞
Such an amazing labor of love! It is gorgeous and you are so patient
Fascinating!! Thank you for showing and explaining your process. Truly a beautifully recycled and repurposed denim rug
I have zero sewing skills, but I *loved* watching this. I will certainly use it at some point if I can.
Love your work! I made a quilt out of jeans. It’s heavy and my kids love it.
Your rug is amazing! Well done! Its a lot of work!
You did a beautiful job! It's such a wonderful looking carpet. Congratulations on being so creative and thinking of new ways to do things. I have sympathy on finding out how much denim it takes to do a project - as I am crocheting a round ball-shaped cat bed from cut up blue jeans. One pair of jeans got me about 1/5 of the way into the project. I need 4 more pairs of jeans. A suggestion for weaving in future: the string you used for the warp threads looks like it is cotton. The cotton thread is not as strong as the denim. Over time, those strings are the weak link of your rug. Be careful washing it. Be careful running the vacuum cleaner over it. A stronger string material would be ideal. I know this because my mother used cotton warp in her rag rugs made on a loom - and the denim lasts forever but the warp gives out. Treat it kindly and you'll enjoy it a very long time. Thank you so much for sharing!
Plp
I thought the same. The white cotton would be the weak link. What do you suggest to replace the cotton string ????
@@diannenaworensky6698 I read that 50/50 blend of Polyester / Cotton loom warp is stronger by far. I'm not a synthetic fan, but if you want it to not break over time, synthetic will last longer. I searched under Rug Warps - Loom Weaving and found some weaving companies that specialize in selling warp. (My mom's decades old rugs are all coming apart from the cotton warp - but the denim fabric is still super sturdy. It's worth sourcing stronger warp.)
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!! 😊❤
И отличная идея - задействовать вешалку как станок👌😊
Thank you, your beautiful smile brightened my day 😊❤
Whoa... for those of us in the United States who do not have a comfort level with the metric system, 175 meters is just short of the length of TWO FOOTBALL FIELDS!!! THAT is a HUGE amount of work!
Your project turned out beautifully but I have anxiety for you that, after all that work, the cotton string may not be sturdy enough, & your beautiful work will start to come apart. The good things is, you know how to fix it, so if you inspect the rug periodically, you should be able to stay ahead of any catastrophes!
Nicely done... thank you for sharing with us! God bless!😇

What string would you recommend instead?
Сколько работы! Ковер получился замечательный!
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 :)
What a gorgeous rug! Too beautiful to use on the floor😉 Thank you for sharing your process. 🥰
❤ Your carpet is fantastic. Thank you for sharing the video and showing in detail the process and estimation the time spending and the result after all.❤❤❤
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!

Wonderful work. Thanks for sharing this process. Thank you From Chile.
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!
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.
Hermoso trabajo!!!! Estoy enamorada de esa bella pieza
It IS stunning. Beautiful and utilitarian since denim wears forever! Well taught; thank you for sharing. Danielle
Прекрасная работа. Очень аккуратно и стильно смотрится
I agree with the soothing voice comment! I have watched many of your videos and am so impressed with your skills! This one is very zen and I’ll watch it in its entirety after a tough day at work ….maybe tomorrow! Thank you for the English videos and keep up the beautiful work!
thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing this video, I was looking for a project to use my old jeans. Will be trying this soon.
Just staning carpet! and your did such a uniform layered work... perfect!
A good solution if you don't have a loom available. But I wouldn't iron the stripes that would be too much work for me, when I weave Poppana I never do that either. Thanks for this idea.
You are very talented!
Congratulations and hope to see more pieces of art from you.
That is gorgeous! ❤
VERY BEAUTIFUL WORK. BEAUTIFUL EXPLANATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS!
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!❤
Interesting loom. I inherited a large loom from my grandmother who died in 1994. I’d share a photo of a denim rug made by her but the site won’t let me. While denim wears like iron, it takes forever to dry! She used lots of tattered bedspreads as well as women’s nylon hose (dry quickly and very durable).
Thank you for showing us your beautiful rug. I think I’d have had to put metal rods down the sides to stop my weaving from having a waist, your tension must have been perfect ❤
Beautiful job Lena, thank you for sharing and being honest about how difficult and time consuming this was. I can't wait to make some for my house ans when friends adk me to make one for them, I will refer them to your wonderful tutorial. 🥰 North Carolina, USA 😊
Wow!!
Incredibly time consuming!!
Beautiful!!
I have a lot of jeans..great idea!!
I may give it a try!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Beautiful work! So perfectly made. 💐
Felicidades, es espectacular el trabajo y mucha su paciencia para realizar esta maravillosa alfombra
That really looks beautiful and you explained in detail just like a professional, i like your honesty and care about your viewers love from Pakistan
Hi...!!! Very special work..!!!! And so beautiful carpet!!! Greetings from México City...!!! 💝💎🌎🤗
Your work is stunning and inspirational ❤
What is that device you use for folding the yarn called? I'd like to buy but can't find it yet.
Dicou simplesmente maravilhoso..... parabéns!!!!!! Amei de paixao...❤❤❤
Скільки терпіння все підготувати! Чудова робота! Браво!!!🎉🎉🎉
Very very beautiful. Love these 🌞
Супер идея, как раз накопилось 10-12 старых джинсов, все не знала куда их использовать (выкинуть жалко). Теперь знаю) Счастья рукодельнице

はじめまして。
あなたの編まれたマットはリサイクルとは思えないほどです♪
私も作りたいと願うようになりました。
きっと作るでしょう。
既製品があふれる中、こんな素敵な物が生み出されるなんて！
人生は素晴らしいです。
あなたが幸せでありますように！
WOW! that is GORGEOUS~ I want to make one~
I just repaired a small couch (setee) with two sizes of caning material(wicker) it must be done with water or the cane will snap. It's weaving and having to pull the material thru is tough on arms & wet hands //I love your rug and your stick to it attitude. It takes much to make real beauty Before I start to make my rug I'm committing myself to not sewing or ironing but I have some other weaving tools to make it easier to slip material thru. (too bad it didn't work on the wicker it's too fragile)storing up jeans too, as I used 4 pairs in my garden to have standing half men with things growing out the tops and knees.
Your rug is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
What an amazing feat. Your diligence and patience is admirable and much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your ‘weaving a rug’ journey with everyone. So, so cool and very beautiful 🥰👌👏😍🙏
Bellísimo, muy inspirador,...gracias por compartir su trabajo, de diseño, y arte del jeans...❤
Wow bravo ❤. It goes to show if you want it it's worth it ;). I read about a review concerning the white cord used to weave and i wondwr if you can ( it will be tedious) to sew a backing to it for stability . Like a blanket.
Very talented, and such an eye for detail!
All this info is so very appreciated and you are truly inspiring
So beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous! And very useful for me since my hubby has dozens of jeans he has messed up just a bit enough that they wont work for "work" but just for here around the farm way to many so now I have a good reason to cut them up and make them into something way better! (They are big jeans as well, 42x32? Just massive amount of denim waiting there)😆 Love your rug!
Great idea, beautiful work. I love it ❤ thanks for sharing this 👍
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!
Really I was following you from my old phone now you speak English ❤
Sehr schöner Teppich. Vielen Dank für deine Inspiration, ich habe schon viele alte Jeans gesammelt. Vielleicht schaffe ich auch einmal so ein Meisterwerk.
simply beautiful
Wow I would like to try this. The colors are great
So beautiful!!
GORGEOUS!! Thanks for the tutorial!
OMG I love the result! It looks awesome!!! Also, your voice is so calming, you could do ASMR videos! 😆
thank you 🙏
Очень красиво и аккуратно получилось
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.
@@МакееваАнна-х9л ага )) да, блин, и времени дофига на это надо, хотя результат классный
This is beautiful! You’ve inspired me!! Do you have other videos showing how to tie the threads onto the loom, (and to keep them in place), and how to tie them off on the rugs? BTW- FANTASTIC idea to use that rolling clothes rack!!! 👍👍👍 I’m SO IMPRESSED! What is the gadget for rolling the seams called? Any chance you have a link for Amazon or where you can buy it? (And for the string too!) What do you think about cutting the strips with Pinking Shears? How long would it stop the jeans from unravelling? I can’t wait for your answers- I am so excited to get started!!! Thanks for sharing your talent and great ideas! ❤ Patti
Ваша работа прекрасна))! Спасибо))
😮😮😮😮great job.... Thanks for your paisanos .... May Allah blace you.....❤❤❤❤
Amazing work. Could you tell me the name of the ironing tool you use and where to buy it from? Thanks
Another comment called it a `bias tape maker'. Maybe weaving supply stores or fabric stores? Maybe even Amazon.
Beautiful !! ❤
Great video! Very well done. I liked the intro; always enjoy seeing the finished project; inspiring. 🤗
That is so beautiful!!!!
