Sewing Tutorial: 4th of July star table runner and placemats

Jaime from Everyday Art shares a tutorial showing how she made this star table runner for 4th of July. It’s not just a table runner, though. The stars are attached end to end with buttons, but unbutton them and you can use them individually as placemats. Brilliant! The stars are cute 4th of July décor! Change up the shapes, though, and you can make this for any holiday or theme. How cute would pastel eggs be at Easter time? Or gold stars at Christmas, or maybe Hearts at Valentines Day? Go to Everyday Art to get the tutorial.
