| Flip and sew table runner |
I had about an hour to sew last night and I needed to prepare a project for my
Leah Day homework for this week. And you know, it's getting close to Christmas, every project (and homework) has to count! So, I whipped up this cute little table runner all ready for some FMQ "
Paisley Snakes".
 |
| I cut backing 23" x width of the fabric (WOF) and a piece of batting approx. the same size |
 |
| Then I cut a center strip about 11" x WOF and two side border pieces 4.5" x WOF. Centered (by eye) on the backing and batting. |
 |
| Flipped the borders, pinned and stitched through all of the layers. |
 |
| You will see the seam stitches on the back. Instant stitch in the ditch! |
 |
| Pressed both side down. Ready for some FMQ! |
In less than an hour, I picked fabric, cut, switched my machine from FMQ to regular sewing, wound a bobbin, stitched up this table runner!
You could put borders on the ends in the same manner, but I plan on cutting mine to a point after I FMQ it.
Now Humphrey is feeling a little left out lately, so here is a little gratuitous picture of Mr. Humphrey Bogart! I love my little Corgi!

ReplyDeleteDoes he get mad at you if you sew to long? My little Papillon does. She barks at me until I let her jump in my lap. Then puts her front paws on my chest and her face in mine as if to tell me enough already!!
