TABLE RUNNER

tutorial  

I made this table runner to match the window treatment (tutorial will be posted later for that project) and it was really easy.  I think it took less than 2 hours.  

I purchased this fabric at PREMIER FABRICS...  They have everything from trendy patterns to traditional and their prices are UNREAL!  

Here's a link to their webpage...http://premierprintsfabric.com/index.shtml

The following directions will make a runner that is 102" x 17".

So, here's what you need...

*2 Coordinating Fabrics... 1 yard of each

*Liner Fabric (I used white cotton)...3 yards

*Sewing Machine

*Iron & Ironing Board

*Scissors

                     

#1  CUT one of the coordinating fabrics into 4 pieces... sized 18" x  24"

#2  CUT the other coordinating fabric into 5 pieces... sized 18" x 24"

#3  Sew the 18" side of the two unmatched fabrics together, with print sides facing each other.

#4 Continue to sew the 18" side of the unmatched fabrics together, as seen above, until you have sewn together all nine panels.

#5 Lay the sewn panels face down on white lining fabric and then cut the white fabric so that they are the exact same size.

#6 Sew the panels to the white liner, sewing along the long sides, leaving the ends open.

#7 Turn the panels through one of the open ends.

#8 Turn the ends toward the inside and press them.

#9 Then closely stitch at the edge of the fabric on both ends in order to close the ends.

***TIP: Press your fabric seams after you sew them!***

And now you have a beautiful TABLE RUNNER made by YOU!
