10-Minute Table Runner

10 Minute Table RunnerIt’s always helpful to have a quick project idea in your toolkit for those times when you need a quick gift or when you’ve finished a difficult project and you just need a simple win. This ten minute table runner is the perfect gift or pick-me-up project.

Material Required

  • Theme Print: 10″-12″ (1/3 yard) of theme print, width of fabric (WOF).
  • Coordinating Fabric: 18″ (1/2 yard) of coordinating fabric for back/border (WOF).

Note: If the fabrics are different widths, cut to match the widths.

Instructions

  1. Place right sides together. Stitch along the long edge with ½ inch seam allowance.
  2. Repeat, stitching the seam along the other long edge.
  3. Press seams away from center fabric. (see Image #1)
  4. Turn the right side to the outside. You now have a long tube.
  5. Lay flat, press so the theme print is bordered evenly on the long side by the coordinating fabric. (see Image #2)
  6. If necessary, trim the short sides to even them up.
  7. Fold in half lengthwise so the theme fabric is facing out.
  8. Sew a ¼” seam allowance across each short end. (see Image #3)
  9. Press the seam open.
  10. Turn the seam to the inside, forming a triangle, with coordinating fabric on the front of the triangle. (see Picture #4)
  11. Finish with topstitch and buttons or other embellishments.
