Fall Runner
Posted on 11:35 AM by follow me
This was a quick and easy sewing project I put together over the weekend.
I wanted something to lighten up my very big and very dark table.
And add a touch of fall.
I decided to use what I already had--a long piece of textured muslin and a white dish towell from target.
I cut the muslin to the width and length I wanted. Then cut the towell in half and gathered and sewed to each end.
I added a galvanized tin trough I found at the thrift store.
and some mini pumpkins,
and vintage sheet music I put through the shredder.
After I sewed the runner I put it in the washing machine, then dryer to give the edges a frayed look.
When I pulled it out, however, the runner was way to short for my table. Either I really messed up on the measurements or it shrank big time in the dryer.
I ended up cutting it right in half and adding a piece in the middle with the stitching seams exposed for added texture.
Besides the little snafu it was relatively easy and painless.
It gives it kind of a farmhouse feel,
in the fall time.
