For your no sew table
runner, first measure your table or a side table that you'd like to put
your finished runner on. You want to measure 5 inches or more away from
the edges. This will be your length.
The width will be 18 inches. Measure 18 inches wide on your table to
make sure this will work on your table. If you'd like it skinner,
adjust your measurement accordingly. We made ours 18 x 60 for a long
table. If you are unsure a good size would be 18 x 44 inches.
You will need:
Material. Cut out to the desired length and width as done above.
Iron-on adhesive,
you can find these at any fabric store or stores that
sell fabric. You will use this to make your no sew hem. You can also
use this for other projects that need a hem.
Lay your material on the ironing board
wrong side up. Pre-heat your iron. Turn the edge up the width of your
iron-on adhesive. Lay your strip of iron-on adhesive inside the edge.
Iron adhesive to
material.
Continue with all 4 sides until you have a hem
around all sides and place on your table.
For this runner project
cut two pieces of coordinating fleece in a 60 inch x 13 inch rectangle.
You can find some fun print fleece for one side and a plain matching
color for the opposite side.
Match your two
rectangles up exactly and fringe short ends. Tie two fringes together.
That's it!
You can even make matching place mats
by doing the same thing as above just using a 23 x 13 inch rectangle
for each place mat. Or use a placemat you have now, measure and cut to
the same size.
