burlap and material table runner

i just love burlap and am always looking for new ways to use it as a decorative piece in my house.  my latest is the table runner.  i put out a piece of it on the table and placed plants and vases and candles on it...but soemthing was missing.  so, i bought some material and added it to the edges to spice it up a bit.

step #1:  measure out and cut your burlap and the pieces of material to fit the four sides of the burlap.

step #2:  fold over the edges around the burlap, where you want it placed, and pin.  once you have pinned all sides sew each of the sides.

viola! you have a new table runner.  now, remember i just got my sewing machine...so please don't look too closely at the edges (i am still learning).  i am sure you more experiecned seamstresses could have cut the corners at a 45 degree angle and made them match up really nicely...but...i don't have the patience.  i just wanted to see what it would look like finished.
