Table Runner

Edited to Add: This was an epic fail. Please do not use burlap and material in the same sewing project. You're in for heartache if it ever needs laundering. 

Thank you so much for the information and tips you shared yesterday. I learned a lot of new things. Guess it proves that there's more than one way to do a thing. I spent a lot of time deleting photos from Picasa yesterday afternoon such as all the headers I've done and some sidebar graphics no longer used. I may be there today deleting this mosaic because if the sun comes out I'll be able to get a better picture and I'll pop it in instead. Phew! That's a little better.

Yes, we did go out for breakfast, but as it happened our favorite breakfast spot was so full that we didn't stay. We drove into the city instead and, since we were there, I dragged John all around. You see I had one of those coupons for the fabric store and goodness knows I hate to let it go by without taking advantage of it. In the end, my fabric was already on sale so those coupons can get frustrating. 

Then we shopped at TJ Maxx. As a result, John has a new Father's Day shirt and I saw two projects that I thought would be fun. One was a table runner and the other a tea towel. 

Now I do not know who is copying whom, but I took note of the table runner thinking it was cute and figured I could do it myself. When I got home, I was less confident. Would you believe that I found a video tutorial online for making the same style or nearly so?! It's so much fun and easy. How I adore easy. It's basically just making a tube, turning it inside out, ironing the edges good and even, folding the ends in half and sewing along the edge then turning them inside out... Well you go find out for yourself right *here.*

Saving the tea towel for another day. It involves scrap pieces of fabric and some embroidery embellishments.

Any crafty projects going on at your place?
