Table Runner Tutorial

 Ok this Table runner seriously took me maybe 8 minutes to sew. It is super easy. Kind of a fun way to add color or decorate for the different holidays or seasons. I tried to take pictures while i was doing it so it doesn't seem confusing so hopefully they help. Sorry they aren't the best pictures.


For the Fabric:
1/2 Yard for the back and self boarder
1/3 yard for the front


So as you can see there is quite the difference int he sizes. That is how it is supposed to be. Make sure the lady cutting them cut them straight mine weren't that straight and you can kind of tell because i didn't fix it.

Lay right sides together and stitch down the length of each side with 1/4" seam. This will form a tube

Turn right side out.

 

*Now it is best to iron it now. So measure out so you have the same amount of boarder on each side and iron it. it should be about 1 1/2 inch on each side. I didn't iron until the end and i think it would have looked better if i ironed now.

* Fold the runner in half with the front side together and stitch 1/4" on each end..





* Unfold and iron the seam open. Turn the point right side out and iron forming a triangle and your done!
