My goal - fluffy tread

My bath mat is finished! I didn’t need to make a new bath rug because I already had one so I just souped up my old one. It was worn and frumpy and in need of a make over anyway plus the fact that it was driving me nuts that it didn’t fit. Every time I opened the bathroom door it would scrunch the rug. I hate scrunched rugs, it’s right up there with popping your knuckles in annoyance.

I decided to hack up the old rug and make it fit. The bathroom is brown and I wanted a nautical theme kind of so I’m trying to work the brown in. I cut the border off, added a brown polka dot border and added rows of gathered honey bun strips (Moda Neptune). I tried to make the brown go with the Neptune because I love Neptune, I’m not sure the color combination works but I like it. That’s it. I didn’t follow the tutorial I mentioned before, I just did my own thing. In fact there is nothing similar other than they both have fabric on them.

My original thought was that I wanted the ruffles to be like fluffy tread and that’s what it reminds me of so I’m pretty happy with it. Plus it fits!

Off to 2 soccer games. I’m still in my pajama pants (yes it’s after 3:00) so I better get cracking or my Christmas tinker bell pants might have to make their public debut. I can’t let that happen. Have a great Thursday!
