Burlap and Lace Table Runner

Burlap and Lace Table Runner by Redhead Baby Mama
I’ve been sewing in some fashion for as long as I can remember. I was cross stitching when I was 7 years old, and making clothes for my teddy bears with Grandmother when I was 10.  When I finally went to college, the most wonderful woman in the world, Janet, taught me so very much about costume design and how to sew and I’ve valued that knowledge ever since.  Now, as a professional costume designer, I rarely get to take on crafts for myself because I’m always making something for one show or another, a private design client or other alterations for friends.  But I did manage to get my paws on some excellent quality burlap and lace courtesy of Your Fabric Source and decided to create something springy for my table.
I picked out a 60″ burlap (pre-cut, cause I’m a lazy bones) table runner with a huuuge roll of linen-colored lace.  I thought about simply serging the burlap in a dark thread, but it was too plain for me.
Instead, I lined up the edge of the lace with the burlap and sewed a #3 zigzag in matching thread down the length of the runner.  I also added a similar length down the other side to match.

By the way, if you’re working with lace, be sure that it’s right side up! The top lace is right side up. You can see the outline of the petals, and the stamens in the middle.  The bottom lace is upside down; those details are lost on the backside.

The project took me about 15 minutes from start to finish, and I love it. It’s fresher than a nude table, adds some rustic flare with softness from the lace.  I even chose an extra length of burlap for a second table runner or maybe to help with my backdrops and photography.

If you want to create your very own spring project, take a look at what Your Fabric Source has to offer. Tons of rustic materials (some ready to go) are available for your wedding decor, house party, or just to spruce up your home.

    It would take more than a day, but I would travel the country along our small rural highways. You miss the charm of these small communities when you pass through on the interstate. The highways take you through the heart of the city, enabling you to see the small diner that has been there for 50 years or the local hardware shop.

    I think I would make some pillows or even wrap some glass candle holders.
