Tutorial: Plaid flannel and lace table runner

Sarah from Sadie Seasongoods made this gorgeous fall table runner from thrifted flannel shirts and lace trim. She shares a tutorial showing how she did it. The sewing is simple. The patchwork of plaid flannel gives a warm cozy feel to a dining space. If you can’t find the flannel shirts at the thrift store, you could also use new yardage from the fabric store. (Side note: I am in love with her dining table. I’d like one just like it in my house, please.)
