Silhouette Thanksgiving Table Runner

November 17th, 2010 in Crafts

I wanted to make something out of the girl’s silhouettes this year and decided to do a Thanksgiving table runner.

NOW! I am not the one to come to for exact instructions and a list of supplies for sewing projects. If you are interested in doing this just use this post as a very, very basic guide.

I measured the table runner to the length and width I wanted for my specific table. I folded and ironed a double hem and sewed it.

Then I took some brown ric rac and sewed it over the hem stitch to hide it and dress up the table liner a bit more.

For the silhouettes there is no way I can get my girls to sit down on a chair and do the flashlight thing on a paper to trace their face. YEAH. Not happening. But I did get them to *kind of* stand so I could get a picture. Then I blew it up to 8×10 size.

I carefully cut the silhouettes out, traced them with a white colored pencil on the fabric and carefully painted it in. Honestly it was not that hard. Just don’t try to do it when anyone is around to bug you.
