When I began teaching myself how to sew at the end of 2009, I never imagined the pure and life-changing Joy, sewing would give me. It is that Joy and love for sewing that inspires me to create, decorate and share the simple and/or complicated projects I make monthly. Luckily, the project I share with you today, leans on the simpler side!
With a few tools and pre-hemmed chore coat toweling, you too, can make this quick raw applique, brunch table runner work for you. It doubles as a bed runner or can be easily cut into kitchen towels at a later date.
Let’s get started.
Helpful Hints: Double sided fusible web has paper on both sides. You will peel only side at a time. Lay a simple fabric scrap on the ironing board to protect it while using double sided fusible web items.
Supplies:
Red Metallic thread (or matching thread for applique word)
Bobbin thread to match applique thread color (red)
Janome blue tip needle
2 yds chore coat toweling fabric (16” wide, length depends table size)
1 fat quarter, red fabric
Paper to trace and cut “love” (or favorite word)
Sharpie/Pen for tracing
Pins
1/2 yd of double-sided fusible web (steam a seam 2 is an option)
Sharp scissors
Iron/ironing board
Machines
Janome M7 Continental (Foot A and zig zag plate)
Janome Air Thread Serger
1. Trace “love” or favorite celebratory word, on paper to create a template. I used paper from packing materials; it’s stronger than printing paper.
