    Easy Fall Table Runner featuring Oliso Smart Iron

    Free Pattern

    20 Oct

    I am so excited to share with you this easy tutorial for a simple fall theme inspired table runner. Today’s tutorial and pattern features the amazing Smart Iron with iTouch® Technology from Oliso®. Working with this iron for the first time felt like my first experience going from my old flip phone to my iPhone. I am officially hooked and doubt that I will ever go back to my old iron. The table runner is a simple half square triangle (HST) center running with patches of strips on the sides. Its is a perfect beginner pattern that will look stunning on your dining room table. I hope you guys enjoy the tutorial and free pattern!

    I love how vibrant the colors are on this runner. It screams fall and Thanksgiving. The final size for this table runner measures about 12″ x 45″ and fits perfectly on my 4′ dining room table. If you want it bigger, you can extend the pattern to make it longer.
