Table Runners

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Maybe it's just me, but I often have a hard time finding table runners that I really like. And I only buy things that I really like. Why spend money on things that you only sort of like?

I remember this past spring I was looking for a light, feminine table runner and could not find anything worth purchasing. Granted, I didn't do an extensive search online (that would've been a good idea - silly that I didn't). But anyways I thought well if I can't find a table runner, then I'm going to go to a fabric store and make my own. And that's exactly what I did. I found the exact fabric that I had envisioned in my mind and took it back home. It worked out perfectly except that the ends aren't finished. One of these days I'll take it to a seamstress to have finished but for now it's good enough for me.

Anywho, I was talking with my lovely future sister-in-law, Trisha, the other day and she had mentioned that she was in search of a table runner. Well, I thought I'm going to do some proper research so that it'll make it easier for people who are looking for one.

Ya know what? There are like a gazillion table runners online! If only I had searched online. You would think I would've thought of surfing the web seeing as how I am a web designer by day. Ah, ya live and ya learn right?

Below are just a few (more than a few, really) examples I came across that I think are definitely worth purchasing. Heck, I might even buy one myself!

  1. I'm a drapery seamstress and I can tell you that table runners are sewn inside out, so unless you do it that way, you're going to have ugly seams at the "ends" that you'll only be able to cover up if you add heavy trims.
