Do you have leftover canvas from an upholstery project lying around? Even if you don't but just happen to love the feel and durability of canvas, these projects will satisfy your need for all things canvas-related. From a table runner to an easy pillow cover, canvas is a versatile fabric that wears well.
As with any craft involving fabric, pattern and color choices are completely up to the crafter. If you want a table runner that doesn't show dirt, use darker colors or a busy pattern such as swirls. Complement a brown couch with a tan pillow cover or brighten up the room with a butter-yellow cover. Standard tan and white canvas has evolved over the years, so the only limit is your imagination.
