burlap table runner.

i love fall colors and decorations, especially burlap!! my table was looking a little bit naked so i decided to do a little crafting and make a table runner.

i'm in love.

i am no seamstress, i can barely sew a straight line. (in fact i don't)


i got my burlap at wal-mart for 2 or 3 dollars a yard and barely used any for this project. i hemmed the piece of burlap then folded it over (my burlap was thin) before sewing it shut.


i used red thread to make it contrast. don't do this if your lines won't be straight. i learned this the hard way.
 [confession: just ran to my husband and showed him my spool and had to ask him what "thread" was called....where is my brain?]


but i had a way to conceal these atrocious lines...

muslin ruffles!




super easy project, it took me way too long because i kept taking breaks to watch football.
our runner is 55 inches long (including ruffles) by 23 inches.

got any ideas for the rest of my burlap?
