Here is a very simple way to make a table runner at the last minute to brighten up your table for Christmas or

any other holiday. No super sewing skills are required.

This table runner is made from 45" wide fabric folded in half lengthwise. If you want a narrower runner you will have to adjust these instructions accordingly.

You will need enough fabric for the length of your table plus 41". This extra amount is for the length of that it will drop on each end of the table.

You need 20" for each end added to the length of your table measurement. The 20" is for the 10 inch drop plus the amount for the needed amount to fold up plus seam allowances.

This will hopefully make more sense as you read further on.

Fold your fabric length-wise with the right sides facing and sew a 5/8" seam allowance along the length and width of the fabric leaving an opening sufficient enough to easily turn to the right side out.

Turn right side out and press with the seam in the center of your runner.

Fold the end of the runner into the corner as shown by pushing your hand into the corner and press the corner into the opposite corner.This will form the end of the runner. Tack down the center to secure the corners on both ends. Sew the open area that was used to turn right side out. Press well and enjoy your new table runner.
