How to make a table runner in ten minutes

Skill Level: Beginner

Supplies:

  • 1/3 yard (12″) fabric for the feature fabric
  • 1/2 yard (18″) fabric for the boarder/back
  • Sewing machine
  • Matching thread
  • Buttons
  • Thread to match fabric
  • Fabric scissors

Instructions:

  1. Place right sides together. Stitch long edges together with a 1/2” seam.
  2. Press seam away from center fabric.
  3. Turn right sides out.  You now have a long tube.
  4. Lay flat on the ironing board.  Press so that theme print is bordered evenly on long sides with the coordinating print.
  5. Trim short ends even.
  6. Fold the fabric tube in half lengthwise with the theme print out.
  7. Stitch ½” seam on both short ends of the tube.
  8. Press the seams open.
  9. Turn seams inside to form a point and press in place.
  10. Stitch a decorative button at the edge of the short seam to secure in place and enjoy!

It’s really that simple. You’ll spend more time choosing a button to use for this table runner than making it!
