No Sew Burlap & Muslin Table Runner

Today I'm sharing a no-sew table runner that I made recently.  They are quite simple to make.  You just need to iron two pieces of fabric together with stitch witchery.


Originally, this table runner started out as a bleached piece of burlap alone, which looked great on the table.  But, in no time, the burlap started to "shed" and the table seemed to be covered in dust.   

So, I thought I'd line the back with some muslin.....the no-sew way.

I started by pulling out the iron, the muslin and the amazing "stitch witchery"

(Awe.....Photo bombed by this cutie!)

I turned all the edges in on each other,  placed the stich witchery in the middle, and then ironed to create the seam - all the way around.  I did this about 18" at a time - but an alternative would be to pin the stitch witchery into place and then iron all at once

 

Considering I forgot to actually measure the table (who does that?) and just decided to wing it (I always seem to DO that), I think the length turned out okay.  I would have preferred it to be just a little longer.

 

 

It doesn't lay as perfectly flat as the burlap alone did - but it's not shedding anymore either....so that's a win!

This runner is going to look great with my fall décor...in another week, or so!

 

 

  I think I may end up painting a couple of vertical blue stripes on it and giving it a "grain sack" look - after the holidays. 

 

 

For now, I have a cute little runner that will not shed waiting to be decorated for fall!    

 

What do you think?
