How to Sew a Reversible Table Runner

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Table runners protect the dining table and other furniture in your home. They also help make your dining room eye-catching, especially if the table is accented with attractive color combinations. Your choice of fabrics and colors for your table runner will add personality to any room.

What you’ll need

Materials:

• Two 1/2 yard pieces of fabric
• Thread

Tools:

• Pins
• Ruler
• Cutting mat
• Rotary cutter
• Scissors
• Hand-sewing needle

Instructions

Step 1. Measure the fabric

Pre-wash your fabric first and iron it before taking the measurements.

Step 2. Cut the fabric

Cut out the fabric to your desired dimensions. Clara cut a 54 x 16 inches piece of each fabric.

Step 3. Pin the fabric

Pin the fabric together with the right sides facing each other.

Step 4. Create pointed ends

• To create pointed ends, make a mark in the center of the width of your fabric.
• Then measure down 4 inches on the sides and mark.
• Draw lines from the side mark to the center marks.
• Cut to create the point.

Step 5: Sew the fabric together

Sew around all the edges with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

Leave a 5 inch opening on one of the long sides of the runner.

Backstitch at the beginning and end of your stitches.

Step 6. Trim the corners

Careful not to cut into the stitching. This helps to remove bulk at the corners.

Step 7. Turn the table runner right side out at the opening

Step 8. Iron the table runner

Iron the seams to flatten them by opening the seam and then iron. Fold it back and iron again to create a sharp edge.

Step 9. Hand-stitch the opening

Hand-stitch the opening, then close with an invisible stitch.

Step 10. Finish sewing

Finally, top stitch 1/4 of an inch in from the outer edge of the runner to secure all the pieces and create a finished look.

Voila!
