A Quick and Easy Table Runner for all Seasons and Celebrations of life!



A Happy Valentines Table Runner! Cheers to my sister who was visiting from Utah and brought with her a fun project to make in 20 minutes. Actually, I recruited her table runner as I will be teaching a beginnning sewing class for our Legacy Relief Society Celebration in February. If you are local and interested in joining me, you will see details soon! The Table Runners are so easy and fun to make! My favorite is the Snowflakes and Birthdays! We are passing it along to you!


Project Time: 20 minutes


Materials-
1/2 yard fabric for back and borders
1/4 yard fabric for center
matching thread
embellishments: buttons, tassels, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------
If you love seasonal fabrics~ you will enjoy making these!


Step by Step easy to follow directions: (1/4 inch seam allowance)
1. Square up 1/2 yard back and border fabric, cut off selvages.
cut center piece of decorative (1/4 yd) fabric to 9 1/2 inches for center

2. With right sides together pin and sew back and center pieces along long edges to create a long tube.
Turn the tube to right side.

3. Fold tube in half and press about one inch into the edge on both sides.

4. Line up pressed marks and press each side to get a even border on each side.


5. Measure each side to make sure that both sides are the same and press.

6. Fold ends together with fabric backing "right sides together"

7. Sew ends together making sure edges are even on other corner (1/4 inch seam allowance)
make sure corners line up even
8. Trim inside corner to reduce bulk.

9. Press end seams open
turn ends to front and press with seam line lined up in the middle of the triangle.



10. Press, add embellishments as desired!

Your Table Runner is finished! Enjoy!
