There was just enough of the checkered fabric to make a table runner. I just made a narrow hem and attached a cotton trim from my stash. I quite like the results.

Table runner and placemats from old tablecloth
I had this old tablecloth from a donation that I loved, but it didn't fit our table at all. So, I decided to cut it up and make into placemats. I found a small piece of patterned fabric in my stash and used it for the backside (I had just enough for all 8 place mats). Originally I wanted to bind the place mats with burgundy bias tape, but I
couldn't find any here, so in the end, I sewed front and back together
with a piece of white cotton in between, turned and top-stitched the mats.

Very nice! Great way to repurpose something you like but can't use as is.
I quite like the results as well.
I have a table cloth given to me that I love, but it doesn't fit my table. I thought I'd wait until I had a table it fit rather than get rid of the table cloth. But now that I see this -- what a great solution! Thanks!
