Still trying to get the house to be a home. It may be obvious to most people, but when you have got a writer in the house, you tend to have a lot of reading material also.

In organizing my fabrics, I came across the table runners from our wedding. The material is really thick and almost canvas-like, if not really canvas.

Lotta Jansdotter’s book _Simple_Sewing_ has a nice magazine rack, and even eludes to being able to store a roll of toilet paper.

I sewed two of the runners together to get the back. Also since the edges were already finished, the holders are 1-2 inches wider than they should be. I think they look cool.

Now Lotta is Scandinavian, so the toilet paper rolls must be much smaller there. As you can see in these pictures, I couldn’t fit a full roll in the bottom pocket. I put a tiny mostly used roll there for size reference.
