Whew! I made this a year ago. I took a class for it.

But it was a pain in the duff! It's woven strips of fabric with serged edges. I used three (3) spools of serger thread. I don't know how to spell serge. Surge?

I will say the effect is beautiful under candle light and twinkling Christmas lights, but not an item I can sell at a craft fair.

It's tacky to talk about money, but honey, it was $40 for the class, 3 half yards for the woven strips, 2.5 yards for the border and backing and $12.99 per spool of serger thread. The backing is the same border fabric.

Do the math!

The official $140 table runner.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I have to laugh because that's INSANE. What was I thinking? I can see me now at some craft fair and having some one wanting to buy it for, oh, $25! Yeah, that's what they like to pay.

Does anybody else have "money pit" projects?

Here it is anyway.
