I have a fun book called rags.

The total time it took me to cut the t shirt strips was probably about 1 hour.

Keep gluing t shirt sections in one straight line along an edge of the mat image 1.

I ended up with 25 rows of t shirt strips.
One method is to cut the t shirt into strips and tie them to a longer strip that has been made into a base cord.
Simply hot glue the strips in place directly on the top of the rug pad bunching the strips together on top of the glue.
Continue to glue knotted t shirt sections all the way up the edge of the mat.
If you re making your own t shirt yarn cut off the top of the t shirt directly underneath the arms and cut off the hem.
