Can make a throw rug for my bathroom using drop cloth
+3
I have an old table cloth (Cotton) that has a pretty print and thought about sewing it to drop cloth (washing the drop cloth first so shrinking would not be a problem) for weight. It would make it washable. this would be used in my bathroom as a throw rug. Would I have to do anything special to use it in the bathroom?

Sounds great. Please keep in mind you will need something to keep it from slipping, which is particularly dangerous in the bathroom. Also, it might be a little thin to be absorbent or cushioning. Perhaps an old towel between the layers.
Why not try spray on fabric glue? I used it many times to put fabric on shades....I think it would work great ! In fact I bought mine at the Dollar Store..it was $3.00 less than Walmart ! It's a small can so you may use a few. It's called ANKER ART multi purpose adhesive spray. Of course they make all kinds but for $1.00? It was exactly what I needed.
I would use scotch-guard on it when it is completed, what an ingenious idea.
Sure, but it wouldn't be very soft. You can put some quilt batting between the layers, and sew some lines on it to keep it from shifting, or you could get fancy and outline some of the print.
Sounds like a trip and fall hazard to this caregiver. I would use two-sided carpet tape on it if you must use this to prevent breaking a hip or other injury.
