Today we’re sharing a table runner that you can easily create in 2-hours—our kind of home décor project! Renaissance Ribbons, Silk Dupioni, and a little thread are all you’ll need. The ribbon is the unifying element in this design.

Fabric and Ribbon Supplies:

  • 1/2 yard of two coordinating colors of Silk Dupioni
  • 1 yard each of three ribbons
  • Monofilament thread 

Note From Team NancyWe selected the ribbons first, fabric second. This collection of Renaissance Ribbons has five options, well, really seven. The narrow ribbons are reversible!

  • Cut one 18″ x 48″ section for the center of the table runner (dark brown)
  • Cut two 18″ x 10″ sections from the lighter fabric (beige)
  • Serge or zigzag the edges.
  • Pin the lighter fabrics to each end of the darker center fabric, matching the 18″ cut edges.
  • Stitch a 1/4″ seam; press.
  • Cut the ribbons in half, creating 18″ lengths.
  • Position and topstitch the ribbons over the seam. Use monofilament thread in the needle.

Note From Team NancyOops, we forgot to take a photo of the table runner before turning and stitching the hem. Please visualize the table runner as a flat piece of fabric!

The instructions will result in a 1″ hem.
