Recycling Linens As Fabric

Use bed sheets or pillow cases for crafty new table runners, bookbags or beach bags, doll clothes, clothing tops or dresses, sky's the limit! Use 4 inch squares of material of 2 different colors to make a cool table runner, pillow or whatever strikes your fancy.

Quick and easy. Cut 4 inch squares of the 2 colors. Take our ruler and draw a line on the reverse side with a #2 lead pencil, and make triangles. Join triangles of 2 different colors, on small sides.

When you have 2 sets joined, place the right sides together and sew to make a square. Look at my pattern and you will see how I did it. Keep adding to it to make the size of material you need if you make a table runner. When you have the correct size, hem the ends. Back view is sewn, at 1/8 of an inch.

That's it. Enjoy.
