Move onto the next row.
Continue in this manner until you have sewn t shirt strips on all of the lines you marked.
Keep gluing t shirt sections in one straight line along an edge of the mat image 1.

Making a little something out of almost.
Place a strip of hot glue 1 inch from the previous row.

The cord is then coiled around to form a circle rug.
Once the glue dries run your hand over the top of the rug to remove any loose pieces.
