Life has been pretty hectic here lately and time in front of the sewing machine has been in short supply. This morning, I managed to find a spare hour and make up a reversible table runner for our meals table. It was surprisingly quick to make but has given our meals area a big lift.
Best of all it is reversible so that I can easily change the look and freshen things up a bit.
When it comes to home furnishings, I like items to be sleek and modern. I teamed two Aqua Prints from the Washi Collection by Timeless Treasures with some Robert Kaufman Essex Linen for the table runner, which measures 12″ x 36 “.
If you would like to make your own you will need:

I love the concept of the runner being reversible! You could just turn it over and it is a whole new thing. You could use any colors that go with your color schemes and voila! Thanks for sharing the idea.

I really like the simplicity of this project that features the pretty fabric. I may whip one up for our blanket chest/coffee table.
