The holiday season is just around the corner and it is well known that a decorated home acquires even more charm, if the decorations are made by us then they acquire even more value. In this article, we will explain. how to make Christmas runners Of machine-made cloth.
Making a fabric runner is really very simple and quick to make, in fact it has very few seams. Let's start with what we need for our runner. We will need fabric, our advice is to use two types of fabrics which as we are going to see, we will submit on top of each other. The first fabric is cotton, while the other one we will put on top is viscose. This is an artificial fabric that resembles silk to the touch, so much so that it was called “artificial silk.” If viscose seems like a gamble, you can always fall back on a less challenging fabric to sew.
How to machine sew Christmas runners
As far as cotton is concerned, we suggest you choose white perhaps with Christmas decorations; on the other hand, we recommend red or gold for viscose that recalls, in this way, the colors of Christmas par excellence.
You will not be able to miss the sewing machinee. There are several models on the market that may be right for you. Choosing the right device should not be taken lightly. You will need a model that is easy to use and suitable for all kinds of work. We recommend, for example, the Necchi N82, practical convenient and functional or the Singer Promise, a real guarantee for basic sewing.
If you choose another type of fabric for your Christmas runner, be careful that the sewing machine you choose is suitable for that material.
Take fabric measurements to make your fabric rectangles. Assume these measurements:
- cotton fabric: 100×26 cm
- viscose fabric: 100×44 cm
Take the two rectangles of fabric and place them right sides together horizontally on the highest part of the rectangle. We will then need to pin and make a seam. We will next go to turn the two pieces of fabric over and go to join the other side, again we will go to pin and make another seam.
If you want to make a Christmas decoration on your runner, all you have to do is take a needle and thread and start sewing a design onto the cotton fabric. We advise you, if you are not very familiar, to take a paper pattern and reproduce the same design that you will find on the sheet.
