- This tutorial is for a beginner, friendly reversible table runner! It is made with all dollar tree items and cost only $12.50 in materials!
This is a perfect transitional piece between seasons. For this example, I used summer on one side and fall on the other. Easy to flip when the time is right! 
Sewing doesn’t have to be expensive! You just need to know where to look for supplies.
Let me know if you make one!

Great project and video. For all those beginners out there, when deciding which square goes where, put the "worst" blocks in the middle. Bc that's typically where you put stuff, i.e. vase of flowers, candle, food tray, etc. That way the "worst" blocks are hidden. Put your "best" blocks on towards the end where people will usually see them more.❤
That is such a great tip!!! Thank you for sharing that!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great tip!
love your video - sharing a tip for newer quilter - after you have the quilt sandwich together and pinned - take a 1/8" straight stitch around the quilt sandwich it locks all 3 fabrics together and you dont have to worry about quilt shifting while you quilt.
No disrespect to those that commented that they could tell it was dollar tree material. Let them spend their well earned money on non-dollar tree material which is more to their liking, & what they’re accustomed too. You’re not forcing them to buy dollar tree material. You’re always mentioning that these videos are for those who don’t want to spend a lot of money if they’re just starting out, or if there’s no specialty stores near them like Joann’s, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, etc. Fabric can be found anywhere. That’s ok, you might be the minority, not the majority. So, you do you. While everyone else will help the little fish to get bigger w/purchases to support them. Here’s a little fact, that no matter which store you buy fabric from it all undergoes the same process of coming from a big, dusty warehouse somewhere? That the material isn’t made any different than the bigger name fabric stores, I would say: No probably not. Critical comments shouldn’t be taken personally, it’s just one person’s opinion. With all the other hundreds of positive comments, & reinforcements from all the good that you do. It is a honor to watch you bring joy, laughter & your passion to the table, literally. From one sewist to another sewist, just keep going!!! Huzzah!
They have no idea what they are missing out on.
I just want to say that I love your videos. I’ve been sewing since I was 10, I’m 60 now. I made all my kids clothes when they were young, made pageant dresses for sale (funded private school for my kids with that!) But I really enjoy your videos. I love your energy and your explanations. I remember the person who taught me to sew…she was not happy and cheerful like you! Thank you for your passion and energy!
That is awesome!
I just came across your CZcams channel a few days ago while my husband was out fishing for a couple of days. I watched a bunch of your videos during those two days but did not have a car to go to the dollar tree! 😢 Now I’m home again and can’t wait to go to the Dollar Tree and try to make some of those bags. I’ve never sewed a zipper but you make it look easy! I loved the star quilt blocks you made. My mother used to love to quilt but we didn’t know about CZcams back then. I am going to try to make this in her honor. I’ve enjoyed your videos and your personality! And I have become a subscriber. Thank you for sharing your gift! 🧵🪡
Thank you for sharing! Good luck!!
Tell your family thank you for sharing you with us beginners. Not only do you show how to do it on a budget but so many ideas for new and creative projects. Your confident instructions make me more confident to try new things. Please keep posting and having fun! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thanks so much!
I wake up to my favorite crafter! Why don’t we just buy a “dollar tree”? I will be there as soon as I can get dressed! You never cease to amaze me. Are you going to show us how to make those stars?
I loved this table runner and honestly the fabric is adorable!! I have to remember that a table runner is not just for kitchen and dining room tables!! I love simple and quick mini projects while I am working on my larger quilts. Thanks so much.. I am thinking Christmas gifts!!
Thank you for your encouraging spirit and your giggles. I’ve been sewing for 50 years and currently sew almost everyday. And the perfectionism is killer!!! I can’t seem to
Cut anything perfectly square, even when I square it up IT’S NOT SQUARE!! So humbling, I’ve accepted that I may never create something that matches up and is square. Your positive words and acknowledgment of the imperfections of life ease the angst of sewists who hear you!!!! Love the projects and have forwarded your videos to my newly graduated college student. You’re priceless!!
Thank you for the kind words!
I just LOVE your videos! 😍 I am a seamstress. I love to sew costumes, crafts, etc. I have wanted to TRY quilting but feel overwhelmed! You make it approachable, and better yet-DOABLE! Thank you for the confidence you give us with each of your videos! 🥰
My sister loves the hand sewing part of binding, she says it’s relaxing. I don’t like it as much, it seems to take forever 😂
I have been sewing for over 45 years. I teach a quilt class at the senior center and I love your tutorials. I love what you do. I went and bought a bunch of drying mats to sew with. Good ideas. Thank you
Thank you for the tutorial! And, I just have to say that your hair is gorgeous ❤
Oh thank you!
I love the scarf as batting! I came across over a dozen lap sized fleece throws at a thrift store in the "fill a bag for $1 day" bin. I have been using them as batting for a couple years and still have some left. Love your thinking outside the box mentality!
@sharonking8777 you can also use them as backing for a nice size receiving blanket if you have cute flannel for the front. Turn it inside out and run a decorative stitch around. Mothers always love these blankets. I did about 30 for an inner city hospital last year, and make them for nursing homes. For warmer, just replace fleece with the flannel.
Another great, fun video.
I love your ideas, I have been quilting for over 30 years, I love a quickly project to break up a big project. I never thought of the fleece scarves for table runners. Perfect!!
I have used fleece as batting on crib quilts I have made for gifts. One note to mention is that fleece does not shrink like traditional batting, so you don't get that "grandmas " quilt look after washing, all scrunchy and soft. It holds its form a little more and makes for great backing for table runners, or baby quilts. Plus, on sale it is much cheaper than batting. Thanks for the idea.
Thank you so much for the midway pep talk… you are so encouraging. I quit sewing awhile ago because I couldn’t sew a square to save my life and with your help I have bags and now a table runner!! THANK YOU ❤
You know, placemats that match the table runner would be so cute!!
I get you. I like watching your projects and I like the way you are user -friendly and a good teacher for new quilters! And I've been quilting for about 35 years. Love your tote and table runner so far.
Thank you so much!
I love seeing you get into quilting!
Love your channel! And I love your energy! I’ve been quilting for quite a while but I never tire of learning newer ways of doing things! Your hints are very valuable!!
Will you please use one of those squares with a star and make a tote bag, possibly with a dish drying mat? Thank you. I love your videos. I've learned so much.
Great idea!
Yes! I’ll be waiting for that tutorial as well!!! 😊
That is such a neat idea! A reversible table runner. It turned out so pretty.
Reversible is brilliant!
Fabulous video
I’ve taught myself quilting during the pandemic with masks moved to bags and now I’m hooked on quilts. My inspiration comes from CZcams sewing tutorials. You are a breath of fresh air and your joy and laughter is what this world needs more of. Thank you for sharing your time and talents!❤️
You and your family must really be a FUN FAMILY! 😂 Great ideas as always. ❤ Beautiful!
😊 thank you
I really like the idea of unbroken thread!
I can tell that your creative juices are really flowing Chelsea! You are so fun!! BTW I have used $ Tree fabric before and didn't have any problem with it.
I love doller tree, i finally found some fall fabrics and Halloween fabrics today. I was so excited 😊, so many ideas came rushing in my head. I want to make a table runner for my daughter, she loves fall colors. So im going to try and do my best. My husband is disabled and im his caregiver so getting these wonderful ideas from you lets me afford doing something i love ❤️ and thats sewing and being creative. I cant afford going to other fabric stores. So this is a blessing to me. Having you as a instructor is awesome, your so much fun and show us to give ourselves grace. Not everything i make is perfect but they are made with love and the person in mind that i made it for. Which they love to, and they dont ask where i get the fabric from lol. They really appreciate the gift, the time and thought i put into it. Please keep making those beautiful bags from dishmats along with everything else you can think of to create. You go, girl. Lord bless you 🙏 ❤
I love these budget friendly ideas. The scarf is probably better used as batting than an actual scarf 😂.
Thank you for making these projects seem not so intimidating. I really think I could do this.
You are so welcome!
I have that exact sewing machine. Your so fun to watch😊
Oh thank you!
I just wanted to tell you a tip for the tiniest of scraps. If you do a small project, such as a Christmas ornament, the tiny scraps that have been saved can be used for stuffing. Pretty cool. I love this table runner! I'm putting together my Christmas gifts, I think I'll add that to the batch!!❤
What a great tip!
I totally get you Chelsea, you are so encouraging!
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE CZcams SEWIST!!!❤❤❤❤YOU MOTIVATE ME TO TRY SEWING!!
Thank you!!
I'm jealous. That fabric does not look like dollar tree fabric to me. It's so cute. I got the mini clamps from Dollar Tree today. I didn't see any fabric. But it was not on my mental list either. I've sewn for years, but never made a patchwork star. I'm going to get that tape and give a star a try. I like listening to you. You have a friendly voice.
I LOVE this, it turned out so cute! I think it would be fun for Valentine's/St. Pat's Day so I'mma find some fabrics for that.
I just Love Watching you Show how easy it can be and how much Fun you make it. You make my Day so happy with your Energy and Interest in showing others ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Love watching your channel! You are so good at explaining! I am a seasoned quilter and always something to learn! Wish you were my neighbor and friend and sewing buddy! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Chelsea, I wish I was talented like you! I buy all this fabric never knowing what I’m gonna do with it because I can’t match colors. You are awesome!
Thank you so much!
You might mention that with hand sewing (ugh) you don't want to sew deep enough to put a stitch on the back side. That's being pretty picky, I guess.
If I had thought about using the scarves, wouldn't be able to find any this time next year. Lol. You're so lucky! Love your ideas!
Keep sparkling.
🤩🤩🤩
It turned out so pretty ❤
I'm sold. I like her videos. I think I'm going to follow her. And, I like your runner.
So pretty! I will have to see what my Dollar Tree has 🤩
Thank you.
I love watching your videos! Your love of sewing and joy just shine through! Thanks so much for your encouragement!
You are so welcome!
🇦🇺Using tablecloths for sewing skirts or shirts can be fun. Even sheets, curtains etc can make anything you can think of.
My sister is a quilter, I'm a hand needleworker (cross stitch, counted canvas, hardanger/other whitework, etc). I helped her one day with quilting. It drove me nuts with the constant rounds of cutting, pressing, and sewing, cutting, pressing, and sewing. It may be a hobby better suited to people with short attention spans. Sewing will never be a hobby for me as a sewing machine is just a tool for making my real hobby look nice! I enjoy making zippered pouches, pillowcases, and fully finishing my needlework pieces, like pillows.
Haha I just picked up the blue and pink ones and was thinking of you 😂❤
Woww, I have seen that pattern mant times it has looked so scarey!! But with your instructions and kind words I believe I can do it!! Thank you, Chelsey!!
Seemed so overwhelming. But
your explanations of each step are so good, it feels achievable.😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Awesome!! Thanks for the tutorial. I can’t wait to try it!
I'm Enjoying your crafts so-so-so (sew) much!😊
Thank you! 😊
I love these long form videos! Thanks for posting!
Glad you like them!
Can wait to see what you are going to make with the fabric.
Love watching your videos!
Glad you like them!
Girl I just love your videos!!! I'm an beginner quilter but I'm having much fun Thanks
I'm so glad!
This would be great for a Christmas project. Some sparkley design. 🎉
Great idea!!
Chelsea I absolutely love your videos! You present things in a fun and happy manner and it makes me smile. Thank you for your positivity and your projects. 💖
Thank you so much!!
Wow I am so excited about this what an amazing way to use up my dollar tree fat quarters!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Since my dollar tree underwent some major changes like adding a new $3-$5 section, the fat quarters are now grouped w/the new section instead of just the arts & crafts. So now instead of going right to where it used to be located, I’ve had to ask a salesperson where it was now located.
So many emotions right now, I have no words 😶 ❤️
Wonderful instructions, thanks for your time❤
You are so welcome!
I love love your energy! You inspire me to get up and get busy! Love you and your channel! You really do make a difference
Thank you so much!!
Just an FYI on doing stars. I was watching Donna Jordan and she demonstrated her free pattern called New Year’s Star. It has “floating” stars which means the points are perfect every time. Just wanted you to know that technique. You inspire me to continue quilting and sewing! Thanks so much!🎉
Enjoyed your show. I love watching your show and always learn something. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Chelsea! I have been wondering for WEEKS if my machine did the serpentine stitch… you AGAIN, taught me how to find out. I had been looking on line with no luck. But yes, in fact, the brother PS 700 DOES have this stitch. Thank you for showing me your book, it made me go get mine out.
I'm so glad! That’s awesome! It’s a great stitch!
Wonderful project-it’s so pretty and you made it look doable for a beginner. Thank you 😁 I love your channel ❤️🌹
Great video!! We get you.I don’t know why people have to make negative comments. If you don’t have anything, nice to say, don’t say it at all. If you don’t like the dollar store fabric, you can apply all the principles to any fabric.
I look forward to trying this❤❤
Thank you so much!
All your projects are very, creative interesting to watch,beautiful& pe..rfect. I love to watch how beautiful project with not so much expensive on the pocket money. YOU ARE GREAT. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
I love this, thank you for teaching me how to quilt.
You are so welcome!
Love your energy! So glad I found you. I love the meander. I always did it manually. I'm totally trying it this way this weekend!!!
Love your enthusiasm. You’re a great teacher!!!!
Thank you so much!
I love this!!
All that math scares me and always did. Even though I definitely was good in math in my time. I am now 83 years old. And can’t even think to make this runner. Love your channel for sure. I will say the fat quarters caught my eye because I did use those fat quarters to make placemats for my granddaughters for Christmas. By the way 3 of those granddaughters are through marriage they are married to my grandsons I used 2 fat quarters and put batting in between they are reversible. Came out so pretty. Yes I am still a simple sewer 🤦🏻♀️
Love your positivity 😅thank you 🤗🥰
You are so welcome
I want to show you the one I just made for a friend. I think I might do this again.
😊love it love watching😊
I couldn’t even make it all the way through the video. I had to stop and pop in and give you a ❤!! You have totally brightened my morning. My 1st time seeing your channel. You made this easy to understand and affordable for all. Happy Sewing!!🧵
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for all the videos you put out. I like how you show every step. This table runner turned out great!
Thanks!
You are so creative! I would never think of using dollar tree fabrics in this way. Love it!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you. You are amazing. Be blessed from Central Arkansas.
Thank you! You too!
Great job! Love it!
Thanks so much!
Thank you! You made things easier even though I have quilted before. 💐
Hello,watch you every chance I get and just by watching and listening to you I have learnt a great deal,keep it up I enjoy it all,from Montreal,Quebec Canada
I appreciate that!
If you get a chance to estimate how much this would have cost if you bought your supplies at Hobby Lobby or even a quilt shop. Thanks for your inspirational attitude. ❤🎉
Very user friendly thank you
You are welcome
My chiropractor says getting up and walking across the room to iron is much better than sitting at your machine and ironing.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. You are Awesome! I truly enjoy your channel. God Bless you and your family. 😊
Thank you so much!
❤ Beautiful ❤
You always make my day such a beautiful smile to see. Our family call you the Dollar tree Queen. Thank you for all of your videos.
You are so welcome
That was so helpful. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
IF you haven't made a video of this...could you show complete binding with the machine? I really hate hand sewing...I do it, but If I don't have to, I don't want to. 🙄😅
I love it! Such a great idea and you executed it perfectly! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Very nice video. Thankyou.
Glad you liked it!
Our Dollar Tree stores haven't had fabric for a couple years. So sad.
Very cute! I like the dual use!
Thank you! 😊
Cutting correctly is my downfall! I can't cut a square right let alone do this, but this is MY DREAM to make one!!!!!
thank you for your videos. I have recently bought some fabric from Temu at good prices.
Wonderful!
Seriously, I am on inspiration overload when I watch this channel. However today I am having the dulgrams due to the fact that my Janome MC 6700p(only 2 years old)bit the dust. So guess what I get to do? Find a different dealer than the last one and buy a new machine. Any recommendations would be welcome. I am a quilter, bag maker and clothing maker. Love ya, take care and keep up the sharing, you are awesome!😊
Oh nooooo! Bit the dust??? Are you sure you can’t get them to fix it under any warranty? That’s so sad!!
