How to make a braided rug by old t-shirt
Step 4: Sew It
Start sewing your braid together. I used a variation of a blanket stitch and started in the middle, working my way around and out of the spiral. This is the part that took FOREVER. Seriously. I was anticipating sewing this mofo on the machine, but lo and behold, the dang braid was too thick to even think about squeezing under the presser foot. So, hand sew I did.
When you get to the end of your blanket, weave in the ends of your braid into the previous ring and sew to secure it.
