Genäht hab ich zehn 5,20m lange Läufer über ein Drittel der Stoffbreite, also sowas wie 32cm.
Dazu hab ich die Stoffe erstmal in drei gleichbreite Streifen geschnitten, diese Streifen dann in unterschiedlich lange Stücke. Das hab ich dann nett auf dem Sofa drapiert, damit ich an alle Muster ran komme und den Überblick über die Mengen behalte. Ganz schön viel Stoff...
I had the idea for sewing table runners while reading this post at sewmamasew. Gives a personal touch to your table decoration without being too time-consuming. I didn't make them for eternity, I neither serged the fabric, nor made a real seam on it, yet I didn't prewash the fabrics for keeping the nice texture of new fabric on the surface and I din't need to iron 20m of fabric...The occasions for such long dinner-tables are rare, so why don't sew other stuff from the fabrics afterwards. I sewed 10 runners of about 32cm wide and 5,20m long.
First I cut the fabrics in three equal-wide strips, the made different long pieces out of them. Then I decorated my sofa with all the pieces for having a good overview about the patterns and the amount of the pieces. Pretty much fabric! For assembling the pieces I measured 5,5m in our hall and laid the pieces together. Then sewing, cutting the wide and length equal, ironing the border and stitching it on. Now I only have to snip all these little threads *sigh*
