Upcycle Applique Rug – Free sewing patterns – Sew Magazine

Transform a plain cotton weave rug with big blooms this summer. It could work as a unique bath mat, a cheery landing spot for your feet beside a bed, or just as a splash of colour in the playroom. Use fabric dye to achieve a vibrant look and exuberant cotton prints for the flowers and leaves, then finish off with a fancy trim.
