Making a rug ..

[Montyforever]

My welsh a is very hard to fit for rugs.
They just fall off her!!
Ive got a old fleece (for a pet bed

Never used it tho!) and have laid out her rug on top and theres plenty of material and i can make it to measure ..
Am i being crazy to even attempt?!

And tips??
Thankyouu!!

I think it's a great idea as long as you place the straps in the correct places etc. Go for it!

Not at all. Afterall, all rugs are made the exact same way!! - Just spend a bit of time and get the measurements and fit right, even more than you think as I know someone who made a rug and it looked great in the end.x

Best of luck. (oh and let us see pics when your done)

Prob be better made than the mass produced ones. Put some photos up when you have finished!

And god no's how long it'll take me

Best of luck with the rug making

And please could you make your signature smaller. It's currently about 3 times higher than admin ask for. Thank you

I think the main problem with making your own rugs is ypou will probably have to hand sew as a domestic sewing machine is unlikely to be powerful enough the sew through the several thicknesses of webbing....good luck though.

There is a book about making horse clothing, in that series of thin books you often see in the BHS bookshop, it has instructions for making rugs, numnahs, tail guards etc

I'm thinking of buying it for my mum when we finally buy a horse, keep her and her sewing machine busy and save us some cash!

Seriously, you could postentially save quite a bit doing this, even if you only ever do fleeces and under blankets.
