I was in Joann Fabrics and saw some fun flannel houndstooth and plaid fabric that I thought would make a great reversible table runner for the fall season. This project is so simple. It took me about a half hour to complete.
Supplies:
14” of flannel plaid fabric
14” of flannel houndstooth fabric
rotary cutter, mat and self-healing mat
pins
sewing machine and coordinating thread
iron
1. I measured my console table (it used to be a TV!) and decided to make it 13” wide by the length of the fabric which is 44”. So I cut it 13 1/2” by 45”.
2. With right sides together I pinned it in place and sewed it with a 1/4” seam allowance leaving an opening to turn.
3. I turned it right side out and then pressed. I turned under the opening and then I top stitched around the entire runner.
The houndsooth fabric matches the bow on the Spider Halloween Wreath I made. I am not done with my Halloween vignette but here is a sneak peek.
And then I can flip the table runner over to give me a new color palette.
I love getting more mileage out of projects. I used black thread for both sides but if you wanted one color thread on one side and one on the other just switch out the bobbin thread with a different color. Just make sure it is the same kind/weight of thread.
Soo cute!!! Wish I knew how to sew!! Should have paid more attention to my mom when she tried to teach me:)
Looks great, I love the plaid with the bit of blue running through it.
I love this, and have the perfect place for one too! Now to find someone to sew it for me.
love it! and it doesn’t look that hard for unskilled sewers
Beckie…love this! Great fabrics you chose, too!
