Need a Quick and Easy way to add a little color?
Why not a simple table runner?
I wanted {needed} a little spring color added to my kitchen table.
A good way to add some color- table runner!
So, I thought I’d make a quick table runner. I found some fun aqua fabric
recently at the fabric store and I used scrap fabric that I had left over from
other projects for the back.
This runner is simple, quick, and adds a fun pop of color to
the table!
Measure. Cut.
Pin. Sew. Turn right-side-out. Iron. Top stitch. Done!
Ready to make one?
I think from start to finish {after deciding what size I
wanted it to be} it took less than 20 minutes. Easy peasy!
Supplies Needed:
*Fabric
*Scissors
*Thread
*Sewing Machine
Decide how big you’d like your runner to be. You can make it any size.
{Mine is roughly 13” x 30”}
First, measure your two fabrics, then cut. You can measure and cut one piece, then
lay the second fabric over top and cut.
I used two different fabrics, but you can easily use the same {and save
yourself time too}!
Next, pin the two pieces together. Make sure the RIGHT SIDES of the fabric are facing.
Sew together.
*Make sure to leave an opening {roughly 4-5 inches} so you
can turn right-side-out.
When done sewing the pieces together, cut the corners off
next to the seam. This will take
away the extra bulk when you turn the fabric the right way.
Turn the fabric the right way, by pulling it through the
seam opening.
Iron. Pay
attention the opening and make sure when you fold in the raw edges, the fabric
aligns on both sides.
Top stitch around the entire thing.
Done!
Now find a surface that needs some extra color and put your
new runner there!
