AND ON, AND ON, AND ON...

We were commissioned to make a table runner for a special events dinner in London recently and as we love to make one-off pieces and bespoke items, we jumped at the chance.

We like a challenge and with a table measuring 6.7m x 1.2m this was going to require a lot of space!

With such a vast amount of fabric for the main body we decided a little embellishment was needed at each end and so we made a simple patchwork trim in coordinating Entomology fabric.

We took these photos to try and show the scale of the project (much longer than your average pair of curtains) and turning the finished sewn runner inside out was interesting - a bit like a snake trying to wriggle out of its skin!

And here is the completed table runner in all its glory. We're hoping for a photo to share with you of it in its rightful place and finally open at full length.
