Instructions
Step 1: Measure Your Table
Begin by measuring the length and width of your table to determine the size of your table runner. Typically, a table runner should hang over the edges of your table by about 6-12 inches on each side.
Step 2: Cut Your Fabric
Once you’ve decided on dimensions, use your measurements to cut your selected fabric. Choose from one of the beautiful fabric options like the Bridely Mesh Fabric – Ivory or Sapphire Jacquard Fabric – Champagne to make your table runner stand out.
Step 3: Prepare the Edges
Fold the edges of the fabric inward about 1/4 inch and iron them flat. This helps create a crisp edge and prepares it for sewing. Repeat this step twice for a neat finish.
Step 4: Sew the Edges
Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, stitch along the inner folded edge to secure it. The sewing line should be close to the edge to ensure it looks tidy. Ensure you sew all four sides to prevent fraying.
Step 5: Final Touches
Iron the table runner to eliminate any wrinkles and create a polished look. Your new DIY table runner is now ready to grace your dining table!
