Prepare A Perfect Holiday Display With Dec La Table

This Bargello Table Runner Is Sure To Impress.

After you’ve decked the halls and put tinsel on the tree, it’s time for a very special addition. This pretty Bargello makes me think of Christmas music playing in the background while decorating for the holiday. Christmas is fast approaching and there’s time to make something that will sparkle.

This table runner pattern looks stunning when made with festive Christmas fabrics, with bargello rises and falls in traditional reds and greens, but can also easily be used for any occasion. The design may appear a little challenging, but it only takes a couple of minutes to realise the technique is quite simple. Sew the strips of fabric to create a tube and then cut into various widths. Just moving the strips up or down one step at a time creates the sweeping curve.

Use the traditional color choices in this table runner, they’re so bright and festive, or choose your own very special combination. Black for the background really accents the bright colors. Embellishing the appliquéd ornaments add sparkle, and so much fun.

It’s a project that becomes a work of art. Placement colors can be swapped out to create your own effect using Christmas fabric scraps. Purchase suggested fabrics such as Riley Blakes Charming Christmas, or Holiday Flourish , or similar match in your stash. Scraps can be used to make the ornaments, along with ribbon and some embellishments you might have put away in a box of small keepsakes, to add that extra special personalised touch. A Christmas runner that can be taken out every year for years to come.
