Shelf Liners (Project 21)

I have no use for a table runner in the apartment. A table runner is basically a long table cloth that's not wide enough to cover the entire table. I feel like they serve no practical purpose but are definitely useful for decoration.

I changed the measurements (quite drastically) for this project and made myself shelf liners instead. The end result looks suspiciously similar to the cloth napkins I made a while ago, but I promise you, they are too stiff to be used as napkins.

The project wasn't especially difficult, but I did learn about secure seaming (the instructor also referred to it as "beside-stitching"). I also got more than enough practice sewing straight lines.

Voilà! The shelf liners fit perfectly and help add some personality to my otherwise plain unfinished shelf.
