No Sewing Machine? No Problem!
After making my "Chevron Burlap" Fall Wreath last weekend, I had some chevron fabric left-over. So I decided to throw together a table runner.And when I say 'throw together', let me tell you, I mean it! I didn't want to go upstairs and sew, so I decided to just heat up the iron and use a little "Stitch Witchery" to get the job done.
I used another runner that I had as a template when cutting the fabric and then just ironed my way through. My fabric wasn't long enough, so there is a seam in the middle where I put the pieces together. Isn't Chevron lovely?
Are you the 'sewing-type' or have you been know to use a little stitch-witch help when needed?

I have also seen some chevron fabric at Hobby Lobby :)

Gotta love stitch witchery! My mom always used that for quick fixes. I have used that same technique to make curtains at my old house. The runner is so vibrant and perfect for fall!

ReplyDeleteSamantha, I can't believe what perfect timing this post is. I actually was dreading the idea of getting my sewing machine out to make a runner. I'm such a beginner. But I actually have some of this stitch witchery in the house. I wonder if it will work on burlap? Hmmn
