NO-SEW BURLAP RUNNERS by Rust: Vintage Inspired Design

I've been working on some easy no-sew burlap runners for the spring

and am loving how they are turning out....

 These no-sew runners are perfect to embellish with bits and pieces of

old lace and STUFF.

 Another excuse to go shopping for some more vintage linens!

 My little owl friend was a fabulous thrift store find (he's actually

a money bank).

 Well, lets hope for some sunny days/hours/minutes this weekend.

Happy day!

NOT BURLAP....AGAIN?!!

Every time I work with burlap I swear it will be the LAST TIME!!!!

I just find it so nasty to work with!

.....BUT.....I looove the way it looks!!!

 I love how these burlap runners turned out.....I made a simple burlap ruffle and

  embellished the runner with vintage doilies and fabric flowers.

 The Triangle Farm Tour is this Saturday (July 28th) in South Surrey.

Start off at the Festive Nest Summer Barn Sale....you'll find some of

these burlap runners for sale there.

BURLAP TABLE RUNNERS

Sissie at Sissie's Shabby Cottage  inspired me to make these burlap table runners this past spring.  She is an amazing seamstress.....me, on the other hand..... KIND OF.....SOMETIMES...... likes to sew with my rudimentary knowledge of it.

Last night I stayed awake in bed almost the entire night dreaming of making some gorgeous RUFFLED BURLAP BAGS.....today I attempted to execute my idea...hours later (and a very sore back) I've decided that I don't think I REALLY LIKE SEWING????!!!!!!----LOL!!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!
