Easy Table Runner Tutorial

I learned how to make this table runner at a Relief Society Fun Friday Craft Activity. I also found the tutorial on a flyer at Joann Fabrics in Logan that had the website address to make this same table runner (10 Minute Table Runner).

You will need:
* 1/2 yard fabric
* 1/3 yard contrasting fabric

1. Place the two pieces of fabric together (right sides together).
2. Sew down both long sides with 1/4" seam allowance.
3. Now you have a long tube. Lay flat and press so the contrasting fabric is bordered evenly on long sides with other fabric.
4. Iron seam flat. Trim short ends even.
5. Flip inside out and fold in half lengthwise with contrasting fabric out. Stitch 1/4" seam on both short ends.
6. Press seams open. Turn seams inside to form a point, press.
7. Sew on decorative button at the edge of point to secure in place.

NOTES: I have a strip in the middle of the one pictured because I didn't quite have enough contrasting fabric so I improvised by adding the small piece. I also didn't use large buttons like you are supposed to because I just used whatever I had. I strongly suggest you use large buttons. The finished size from point to point and side to side is: 56" x 13 1/2".
