Sunday I took some time to do some sewing. I had a few little projects and since I don’t have a dedicated area where my sewing machine is set up, I figured I’d get as many as I could in while I had control of the dining room table. The first thing I made was this table runner from a red and tan toile piece of sample fabric I had.
I used some scrap linen I had left over from previous projects to put together a pleat/ruffle for each end.
It’s not perfect, but I love how it turned out! If you’d like the simple tutorial for this, let me know, as I did take some pictures as I went along.
Next, I made some napkins out of the fabric I got from Joann’s the other day. This pretty brown, bronze and tan fabric works really well with a lot of the dishes I purchased last year.
Here is one with a set of the dishes, on top of a table runner I purchased last year, too.
The challenge I have made for myself? I have this decorative planter {11 inches high and 14 inches in diameter} crammed with fabric samples. Some are long strips, like the toile I used for the table runner, and some are small squares and rectangles.
Colors and patterns vary.
I’m going to challenge myself to make at least one thing a month using these fabric scraps. I’m hoping to use a few up in a months time, but I know I can do a minimum of one. It will be interesting to see if I can come up with a different purpose or project for each one.
Wish me luck!
