This teaches you how to make a table runner. http://www.ehow.com/how_4815632_make-table-runners.html and this teaches you how to do placemats http://www.ehow.com/how_2266143_make-cloth-placemats.html. Also tassels are cute at the end of Table Runners. Fabric for Projects on sewing can be bought at Joann's.com. This is what's coming for me for Halloween Placemats and Table Runners to be made from Joann's. If you ever need patterns you can buy them online or at Fabric stores or at Deseret Industries. And what I want to own someday as a collectible item for sewing is an Original Singer Sewing Machine.
