Repurposed Tablecloth

Good golly Miss Molly!!! You people are so talented!! I had so so so much fun checking out our links from yesterday. I was seriously blown away!! Take for instance this bed frame refashioned into a house number sign. Check out the details on Gail's Decorative Touch. That is just too cool.

Next I wanted to feature this creative Halloween door hanging. She actually linked up to last weeks Creative Cat's so I'm not sure if you got a chance to check it out. Craftaholics Anonymous made this cutie patootie using rafia and would you guess a paint stirring stick?? Love it!That is just a teeny tiny taste of the creative links from yesterday so if you haven't had a chance to check them out...grab yourself a bowl of peanut M&M's, pull up a chair and start clicking!! You'll have a great time!!

Well, I got home from an activity last night where we were sewing purses to donate. I came home and I still had the sewing bug (nasty little thing...those are so hard to get rid of). I pulled out an old tablecloth that I have actually already cut into for other projects, so it wasn't a big deal to chop it up some more.

I cut myself a fairly large strip and then stuck the middle of the bottom into a ring.

I cut out some scrap pieces of fabric and glued them on with a glue stick to make it easier for me to stitch.

After the stitching was finished I turned it inside out and sent it on a run thru the sewing machine. I flipped it and ironed the seam along with sewing the bottom edges of both sides. I was initially thinking scarf...

but maybe it would work better as a table runner.....

I don't know. Which do you like better? Anyhoo...quick little project if you've got some extra scraps lying around.
