Make this unique table runner it is a great way to accent your summer table.
What You Need
1 yard each of 3 colors of Linen Fabric
½ inch wide single fold bias tape
Thread
Use the leaf template located at my website; cut 27 leaves (to make an 86 inch runner( add or subtract leaves to fit your table) from some your choice of fabric, (linen is best). Use a 1/2-inch-wide strip of bias tape to create a border along one side of each leaf, from tip to tip. There is no need to finish the tape’s ends. Bind the opposite side of each leaf with a separate length of bias tape, covering raw edges at the tips with an overlap finish. Arrange leaves in desired pattern; pin, and hand-stitch together.

July 9, 2010 at 20:08Ooooh, I love this! I'm going to make one interspersed with some corn appliques I have – they're the same diaphanous linen fabric, and I think it'll be beautiful. Thanks!

July 27, 2010 at 17:39Wow, this is a great table runner! I can imagine it also in sheer fabrics, which I happen to have on hand. I may need a bit of practice with those bias cut tapes, mind.

Oh Katherine, I mistakenly entered the url of the pinned item in your shop instead of the above pinned blog post url in the rafflecopter form in the entry for pinned blog post. Hope I won’t be disqualified for this! Sorry!
