I'm going to try to make a window seat cover from a very worn oriental rug. I'm planning on cutting the best part of it. I welcome advise on what to attach it for its underside; if it can be hand sewn ( I doubt my machines could handle it); what kind of thread and needles to use; seam allowances for the rug piece. The space it is going to occupy is
16 x 42 ". Any other advice? Ellie- posted
