Tutorial - Make a Festive Table Runner

Custom cut and sew to length of your table

Tutorial at Mary Martha Mama Blog

"This past week we decorated our house for Christmas. We don’t do a ton of decorating for Christmas mostly because of too many little hands getting into things, but the boys love to decorate for holidays so we do try to make it a little festive around here.  We put up our mini tree (I don’t feel like guarding a big tree from my ornament obsessed 2 year old), a wreath, our Advent calendar, the felt tree that I made for them to play with, and a few other odds and ends.

As I planned to finally sew it I realized I could make it reversible for year-round use; as I sewed I realized I could write down the directions of my version to share here. So here's a bonus Thursday pictorial post, in case you feel like sewing one up before next Thursday".... Read more
