I recently found some really cute fall fabric at JoAnn’s and decided I wanted to make a really simple reversible table runner for my kitchen table. I got a yard of each fabric, eyeballed the size that I wanted, sewed them together with some light batting to give it some weight, and then top-stitched with a decorative stitch. Simple, but really cute!
This was my first time using one of the decorative stitches, and I have to say, they are fun! But also take a ton of thread. This entire project took almost my whole spool of beige thread.
And here’s the finished product. Excuse the battered scratching post in the background! Maybe I should have staged a little better…
And here you can see the other side, which is a really pretty orange print.

Hi Heather: I think this is such a gorgeous use of orange–I love the fabrics you selected, and the balls in the basket bowl, and the candles and stands. It’s all so pretty! And that decorative sewing stitch is really cool!
Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words! Fall is my favorite time of year. 🙂
Great job on the table runner! Mom
