Last Sunday morning I was laying in bed (I could tell it was a weekend - it was light!) and looking across the room to where I had some fabric stacked. I was thinking that it was a shame to have to cut into some of my favourites to make something small.
I was still pondering this when I started thinking about freshening up downstairs as the season begins to change. Then the two thoughts collided and I decided to use some pretty fabric in such a simple way that I would hardly lose any of it, and I would get to see it more often...
I took the one piece of this I had, bought as a remnant at a craft show last year...
cut the same size piece (50cm x width of fabric) of this...
sewed them right sides together, leaving a gap for turning...
turned it right side out, pressed and top stitched 1cm from the edges all around...
and made a simple, reversable table runner for the dining area.
It took lass than an hour from inception to completion, and gives two looks for the price of one. My kind of project!
