Once upon a time, only in the houses of the rich could you find tablecloths. Then people became uninterested in this decoration; they began to treat the tablecloth with contempt, considering it a bourgeois sign. People preferred a bare table without any frills. But fashion is cyclical, tablecloths have returned again and become symbols of warmth and comfort.
A new tablecloth can transform a room better side, make it more attractive and comfortable in appearance. Besides, this easy way decorate holidays, simply cover the table with a tablecloth with patterns of Christmas trees or autumn leaves to give the room the spirit of the upcoming holiday.
Tablecloths can also serve practical purposes; they protect the surface from stains, hot dishes and spilled drinks. They will also help hide an old shabby table and make it more attractive in appearance.
Yes, you can easily buy this thing, but it is better to try to sew a tablecloth yourself. Firstly, you will receive a unique original work, and secondly, you will save money. The price of one finished tablecloth will be three or four. In addition, you can make something that will completely suit your taste.
It is best to make a tablecloth yourself, it will not take you much time, the master class will help you with this. Here you will find out how you can do this.
Tablecloth for a square table
To make a tablecloth for a square table, you will need: a notepad and pen, a measuring tape, decorative fabric, fabric scissors, an iron, an ironing board, a pencil or crayon, a sewing machine or a hand sewing needle.
How to measure a table
To make a tablecloth, you will need a piece of fabric wide enough to fit your table.
Before you go shopping for fabric, take a tape measure and measure the length and width of the table. Write down the information in a notepad.
Measurements should include tabletop length and width and fabric overhang. Optimal size overhang - 20-25 centimeters. If it is longer, the tablecloth will seem more elegant, but it will be inconvenient to use. Since the fabric may shrink after washing, it is better to add 20-25 cm to the length of the weight. You should also allocate 10 cm for the hem. For example, you have a table 75 cm long and 75 cm wide.
We calculate fabric consumption as follows:
- fabric length 75 cm+(overhang length 20 +20)+(hem 10 cm)=125 cm
- fabric width 75 cm + (overhang length 20 +20) + (hem 10 cm) = 125 cm.
Before you start cutting the fabric, you need to iron it properly. You can then draw lines using a pencil and ruler that correspond to your measurements and carefully cut the fabric.
Forming the edges of the tablecloth
Fold the edges of the fabric 1 cm and iron. The fabric should lie with the wrong side up. From the corner of the fabric, mark 8 cm in each direction. Draw a line and then bend the corner according to your line. Mark the fold with pins and stitch it.
Cut off the corner, leaving 5 centimeters from the seam. As a result, you should have a corner. To make it more even and neat, it needs to be ironed. The remaining corners of the tablecloth are processed in the same way.
The sides of the fabric should be folded, ironed and finished with a blind seam or machine sewn. The fabric should lie with the wrong side up.
Tablecloth decoration
After the main work is done, you can do appearance make your tablecloth even more beautiful - sew lace, flounces to the edges or decorate with various appliqués.
Tablecloth for a round table
This round tablecloth is sewn a little differently. You will need suitable fabric, which can be cotton, linen or any other of your choice.
You will need to measure the diameter of your table. Determine the length of the overhang for yourself, add this value to the diameter. Please allow for an allowance of 2.5 centimeters. Cut the fabric and then fold the fabric twice. If you don't have enough fabric, you can sew it from two or more pieces. The edges of the panels need to be sewn together, retreating from the edge a little more than a centimeter. Then the seam will need to be smoothed, this can be done using an iron.
You can do it small square. Use a measuring tape to lay a diagonal line from one corner to the other. Mark half the diameter of the fabric on the fabric. The mark you make will help you draw an arc to the corners of the square. You will then need to cut the fabric along the line you made and unfold the fabric. You will get a round canvas.
You can do this in another way. When you have a folded square of fabric, make a paper template based on it, draw an arc there with a compass, it should be at one edge. You will have a template that you can use to cut your fabric to create a round cut.
You will then need to iron the fabric to get rid of any wrinkles. You can finish at this stage if the edges look decent. But if they crumble, then fold the edges twice and stitch. You can sew lace or satin ribbon to the edges, it will look noble in summer.
If the table shape is oval, then you will need a tablecloth pattern. Make a paper template first. To do this, take a large sheet of paper, place it on the table surface and mark the cutout lines. Cut out the template, lay it on the fabric, add 20 centimeters for the hanging edges, plus 1 centimeter for the sag. After this, you can cut the fabric and make a tablecloth.
Choosing fabric for a tablecloth
If you will use the tablecloth every day, it is advisable to choose a material that can be easily washed without affecting its appearance. Therefore, feel free to use synthetic material; moreover, it will not shrink after washing.
Jacquard fabrics for tablecloths are also most suitable for everyday use. Firstly, they are dense, and secondly, they have a double-sided pattern. If one side gets loose, you can move it to the other side.
Cotton, silk, or linen are suitable for a more festive option; the tablecloth will look attractive and create the right mood. Lace and filigree embroidery can add chic and nobility to the product, but such a tablecloth will require careful care from you.
Tablecloths for holidays are decorated with sequins, buttons, felt appliqués, and satin ribbons.
The colors and patterns of the product must match the entire interior of the room. For a classic interior, soft pastel colors are suitable; they will add nobility to the atmosphere. In addition, a tablecloth can serve as a bright spot that will transform a room and make it more attractive.
Tablecloth made of scraps
The tablecloth made from shreds is very beautiful.
You will need to make scraps, maybe each 20 by 20 centimeters and sew them together until you get the fabric you need. You can pick up any scraps and fold them to create an original design.
To make the canvas look neat, it is best to overcast the shreds along the edges. You can first mark and sew the patches by hand using white thread to see how it will look.
You will also need to make a spacer, which may be slightly smaller in size than the quilt. The lining and the patchwork fabric are then sewn together, with the edge of the lining under the hem. It is better to take calico or flannel as a material for the lining.
Quilt the tablecloth starting from the middle. Make a border around the edges, do not forget to iron the tablecloth. After that you can lay it on the table. Your creation will adequately decorate the room and transform its best side. This tablecloth looks festive, cheerful and gives a joyful mood to the room.
A tablecloth on the table is a mandatory attribute of any feast and ordinary kitchen life. It can be of various shapes - round, rectangular, square and oval. Sewing a tablecloth is not at all difficult. Any housewife can cope with this, and if you use your imagination and try, you can create a masterpiece that will surprise everyone.
Instructions
Choose your fabric. It should be dense, heavy enough, and drape well so that the ends hang beautifully over the edge of the table. Suitable for the dining table natural fabrics– linen, linen, thick cotton fabric. For a decorative tablecloth, you can choose thick jacquard fabric, heavy silk, satin.
Make a pattern and cut the fabric. It is important that the oval of the tablecloth exactly matches the oval of the tabletop, otherwise the tablecloth will hang unevenly at the edges. Take a roll of paper and transfer the outline of the oval tabletop onto it, make a pattern. Fold the fabric in half with the right side inward, fold the pattern in half, align the folds of the fabric, add 30-40 cm along the edge so that it hangs beautifully and cut out the future tablecloth.
Finish the edge. The edge of the tablecloth can simply be hemmed sewing machine. It is advisable to insert a heavy thin cord into the seam to make the edge heavier - the tablecloth will drape better and not move off the table. You can trim the edge with braid, tassels, or lace. To do this, fold the edge of the tablecloth, baste it, then attach braid or lace and carefully sew two rows of stitches on a machine. While working, do not pull the tape, otherwise the edge will be pulled.
Make the decor. For example, decorate a tablecloth with applique, embroidery,... You can combine plain fabric and fabric with a pattern, striped, checkered. Instead of loose ends, sew a frill from the same or contrasting color fabric along the edge of the tablecloth. A tablecloth laid diagonally on a tablecloth, sewn in the shape of a square from a contrasting fabric, looks very beautiful and original. You can decorate the tablecloth on an oval table with a runner laid along the table in the center, also in a contrasting color. In order to create a unique thing, you need to use your imagination a little.

- sew a tablecloth for the table
Without a doubt, a beautiful, neat tablecloth for the kitchen is a pleasant component of any gathering, helping the hostess teach her culinary skills to both household members and guests. It is important to choose the right tablecloth for the dining table.
Size matters
There are generally accepted rules and conditions for setting a table with a tablecloth, which state that the fabric should not only cover the surface, but also hang slightly from all sides. It happens that it completely hides the supporting parts. When choosing a covering, you need to take into account the size of the table and the reason for the celebration.
- if normal daily use is expected, the fabric hangs a maximum of 20 centimeters;
- a more significant feast - 30 centimeters;
- an official reception, banquet, wedding requires the presence of a large tablecloth hanging 40 centimeters;
- at a formal buffet table, they completely cover the table legs.
The photo of the tablecloth for the table shows the most popular version of a rectangular cloth, the sides of which can be different or the same length. They cover both square and oval tabletops.
- Rectangular surface. To begin with, it is recommended to measure the length and width of the table, adding to the resulting figures the possible allowance at the edges. Then we multiply the result by two.
- A tablecloth for a round table involves measuring the diameter of the surface, then adding twice the length of the edge that will hang from the edges.
- Oval or round tablecloths are also gaining popularity among consumers. Lying perfectly flat on the tabletop, the product forms beautiful soft folds. The size of the canvas is determined similarly to the first option with an allowance of double length.
- If you plan to cover a square tabletop, you should still measure the diagonal. It would be correct if the diagonal is smaller than the selected product, then the corners of the table will not be visible from under the textiles.
Oval tabletop: coating rules
Most often, a round table is folded out to increase the free space, so it is recommended to choose an oval cover or a rectangular universal product. The calculation is carried out using the following method:
- the diameters of the tabletop are measured (large and small);
- to each figure is added the double value of the free edge, which, of course, corresponds to the event;
- the required dimensions for the oval coating element are obtained.
Generally accepted standards
When choosing the most suitable option, you need to consider several nuances:
- textile markets and shops usually offer medium-sized tablecloths standard sizes. So, it is better to take a larger one so as not to make a mistake in the choice;
- It is appropriate to cover non-standard pieces of furniture (tables and chairs) with a cloth, the edge of which hangs below the level of the legs and seats;
- beautiful sets with fluffy “skirts” are sold for buffets and banquets;
- for sliding furniture, it is better to buy two tablecloths at once;
- The size of the finished product directly depends on the degree of possible shrinkage during washing, so you should slightly increase the length values.
Fabric selection
The service life of a kitchen tablecloth directly depends on the quality and practicality of the material for its manufacture. For this reason, you should first pay attention to this factor.
Most often, kitchen linens are divided into two types:
- Daily ones (for every day) are made from more affordable and practical raw materials, usually equipped with moisture-resistant Teflon or acrylic compounds. They serve as decoration, beneficially complementing the interior and style of the kitchen space. It is better if the fabric does not wrinkle and is easy to care for.
- More elegant festive elements are decorated with additional accessories, used exclusively for special events. There are products with a themed theme: Christmas, Easter, birthday, children's party or wedding celebration.
Fabric for daily use offers functionality and increased performance. Here are the most popular options:
Since ancient times, oilcloth has been a popular covering without being a textile. You can buy both transparent and thick tablecloths from oilcloth. Visually, it is not entirely aesthetic, but it perfectly protects the surface from everyday stains, damage and dirt. Moreover, it is cheaper budget option saving the family budget.
Practical and relatively cheap polyester, unlike oilcloth, has a more interesting and varied design. The exterior is decorated with patterns and ornaments. The material is easy to wash, clean from dirt, does not wrinkle and is quite suitable for serving for every day, fitting into any style.
The soft folds of cascading cotton make the table an incredibly cozy feature. Cotton material impregnated with a special water-repellent composition, which protects it from stains and damage. The fabric is easy and convenient to wash in warm water and place hot dishes on it. Please note that frequent washing leads to rapid thinning of the threads and wear of the raw materials.
Currently, silicone tablecloths are gaining popularity, being an excellent replacement for traditional textiles. The coating protects the tabletop well from mechanical damage and contamination, keeping the furniture in perfect condition. But, usually, it is used not for decoration, but for practical purposes.
Photo of tablecloth on the table
Kitchen tablecloths come in oilskin, silk, linen, cotton and others, and sewing such a product or runner for festive table easy with your own hands.
Nothing gives a home such a feeling of warmth and coziness as elegant tablecloth. Bought in a store or sewn with your own hands, it can completely transform the entire room. Previously, this interior detail was considered a luxury, sometimes receiving the disdainful clarification - bourgeois. But capricious fashion has a pleasant habit of returning. So now a tablecloth can be laid on the table not only on holidays, and not just in the kitchen. The choice of this textile element and sewing it yourself is described below.
Fabrics for all occasions
Tablecloths are still usually divided into festive and everyday. But within this simple classification, “narrow-profile” options also appeared. Festive ones varied with New Year's, Easter, children's and wedding patterns. And among everyday models you can now find tea rooms, dining rooms and those designed to simply complement the interior. First, let's decide what materials they should be made from.
Daily Materials:
- Oilcloth: the cheapest and most unpretentious option - oilcloth tablecloths - have nothing to do with fabrics. Perfect for a simple family dinner on a weekday. But at the dacha there is simply no price for such unpretentious material. Buy several bright models at once for tables in the kitchen, terrace and gazebo (if you have one).
- Polyester: also a relatively inexpensive material that tolerates regular washing by hand or in a machine and does not require tedious ironing afterwards.
- Jacquard: these tablecloths with a double-sided pattern can easily be called “2 in 1”. They look different on the front and back sides, so you can rearrange them as you please depending on your mood (or when stubborn stains appear). Jacquard fabrics are denser and therefore last longer than others.
Of the festive fabric options for tablecloths, there are three main ones.
Cotton
Tablecloths made of natural cotton with Teflon or acrylic waterproof coatings are perfect for serving a formal dinner. It is this material that can withstand the endless flow of visitors to cafes and restaurants, as well as regular washing in not the most gentle conditions. Special impregnations protect cotton from stains, hot dishes and spilled drinks. At the same time, the tablecloth does not stand up like a stake, but can flow beautifully, descending from the edge of the tabletop.
Flax
Unfortunately, delicate flax is not subjected to protective treatment. Therefore, the beauty of linen tablecloths with lace or embossed patterns, luxurious hand-made embroidery - alas, is short-lived. It is almost impossible to wash stained fabric, so linen is often used as the basis for multi-layer draperies.
Natural cotton and linen fabrics are good because they can be used both on a weekday and for festive table settings. The addition of polyester fibers makes them more practical and does not spoil the appearance at all.
To maintain the neat appearance of the tablecloth, the table is covered with thick jacquard runners or a shorter naperon on top of it. The exquisitely decorated edges of the linen tablecloth will remain visible at the level of the table legs, and the center will be reliably protected from stains.
Silk
Expensive silk fabrics are rarely used for dining tables. But they look great in the interior: on cabinets and chests of drawers. However, at a wedding banquet it is difficult to imagine something more luxurious than thin flowing silk with skillful embroidery.
Tablecloth shape
The tabletop will determine what shape the tablecloth should be. Some table models are friends only with their geometric copies, others allow combinations. It is imperative to know these subtleties.
- Rectangular tabletop: only the same rectangular tablecloths are suitable for it. There is no other way to cover a traditional table. However, special tracks (runners or runners) add some variety. But they also have a rectangular shape.
- Square tabletop: covered according to the same principle - only with square cuts. But no one is stopping you from making an interesting two-layer covering with your own hands by laying two tablecloths of different colors and sizes crosswise. You can often see this technique in photos of designer kitchens. By the way, a path on a square table would be inappropriate.
- Circle: both a square and a round tablecloth, or even both together, look great on this tabletop. The main thing when covering the table is to accurately find the center of the cuts and make sure that the drapery is distributed evenly.
- Oval tables: these original models are also unpretentious - both textile ellipses and elegant rectangular tablecloths are suitable for them.
Choosing a size
Having figured out the shape, we move on to the important stage of choosing a tablecloth for a table of a suitable size. When going to the store, don’t be too lazy to measure the countertop with your own hands using a tape measure and write down or remember the result. When purchasing, focus on those products that are guaranteed to hang another 20-30 cm from the edge.
You can determine the optimal length of the tablecloth by placing a chair next to the table. Ideally, the edge of the drapery should hang down just to the level of the seat - not lower.
Models that turn out to be longer have a right to exist in your home, but you shouldn’t overdo it. Take 40 cm as the maximum allowable length of hanging drapery and try not to buy tablecloths larger size. In photos of fashionable interiors and in modern restaurants, floor-length tablecloths look very beautiful. But imagine for a moment how your guests will begin to get their feet tangled in these draperies, trying to get up from the table. It's good if it doesn't end in a fall or broken dishes. It is better to avoid short tablecloths altogether. The only exception may be the covers that you will lay on top of the main fabric.
There are also requirements for the width of table paths. The size of the textile strip should not be wider than half the table. For large tabletops, you can use runners measuring only 30-40 cm, using them to “outline” the table into separate zones. Don't forget that the main purpose of the runner is to protect the tablecloth from stains. Therefore, lay the paths so that the utensils for each person sitting at the table are conveniently located on them.
Instead of a runner, you can use more conservative cloth napkins. As a rule, good holiday tablecloths come already included. Their only difference from the table runner is that small napkins are used only at lunch, while the runner can serve as a simple table decoration the rest of the time.
Colors
Light colors have been and remain the most popular - they always look elegant. Such tablecloths will be appropriate for any occasion, be it a regular family dinner or gala event. But with more saturated shades, you need to choose the right tactics, dividing them into cold and warm colors:
- Green, blue, blue - these cool shades slightly reduce appetite, but also calm the nerves. If people who cannot restrain their emotions gather at the table, such tablecloths will help smooth out the situation a little.
- All colors from red to bright yellow are not just warm - they are hot. Such tablecloths are bought by housewives who love friendly gatherings over a hearty dinner. Warm colors stimulate the appetite, so at a table covered with a bright tablecloth, no one will refuse a treat.
Try to buy tablecloths without multi-colored patterns - colorful products are more suitable for a children's sweet table or tea party in the country. Otherwise, plain fabrics would be more appropriate. And to create a beautiful combination of colors, you can simply use multi-layer styling or bright paths.
And most importantly, the tablecloth should be in harmony with the surrounding interior. Whether it will blend in with it or attract attention with contrasting colors is up to you. As a last resort, you can order or sew chair covers from the same fabric from which the tablecloth is made. You can easily find photos and patterns on the forums of craftswomen. Then your dining room will have a full-fledged dining group, made in the same style.
We sew the tablecloth ourselves
Having understood all the intricacies of choosing the right fabrics and shapes for tablecloths, it is not difficult to make with your own hands a whole set of a wide variety of models for table decoration. Here you can accurately guess the dimensions, and original ideas bring to life.
Sewing involves the following order of work:
- Measure the tabletop and the length of the hanging draperies of the tablecloth.
- Make a pattern according to the dimensions obtained, leaving 2.5 cm on each side for hemming the edges.
- Sew individual panels together or simply overcast the edges of the tablecloth.
- Decorate with embroidery, lace or leave as is.
If the table is large, and you will have to sew a tablecloth for it yourself from several panels, try to keep the seams out of sight. Although this kind of cutting is not the most rational, it is better to put a whole piece of material in the center and stitch the missing parts on the sides. 
Modern women are becoming more and more involved in handicrafts and try to create almost everything by hand. Now I would like to talk about how you can sew a tablecloth with your own hands.
About tablecloths
Before understanding the process of creating a tablecloth, it is worth noting that these products come in different types. The tablecloth can be casual, camping or festive. How are these options different? The first type is an everyday tablecloth. Its main purpose is to protect the table from various mechanical damage. It is better to sew it from inexpensive, but very durable material. Recently, Teflon coating on such a product, which is perfectly cleaned of contaminants, has become very valuable. Camping tablecloths are taken with you to nature or to the country house. Their purpose is to protect products from insects, as well as from contamination. Therefore, it is better to sew them with dense materials that wash well. As for holiday tablecloths, they can be made from any material you like. After all, their main purpose is to decorate the table, so they can be made of thin, expensive fabric. They are decorated with various ruffles, ribbons, etc.
Festive tablecloth
If a woman wants to create tablecloths with her own hands, why not sew a festive version of such a product. To do this you will need fabric, ruffles for decoration, a sewing machine, as well as threads, scissors and other little things needed by a seamstress. First you need to prepare the base. To do this, on the selected piece of fabric you need to mark its dimensions, making allowances for the seams on each side of about one and a half to two centimeters. Everything is cut out, the edges are hemmed (if you don’t have an overlocker, you can finish the edges using a zigzag stitch on a sewing machine). This is necessary so that the threads do not come out.
Now you need to prepare the ruffles. You can choose any width, for example 15 cm. You need to calculate the length yourself. To do this, add up the dimensions of all four sides of the tablecloth and multiply the result by two. This is necessary so that the ruffles do not just edge the tablecloth, but are slightly pleated. Having cut out the desired strip, it must first be wrapped and gathered to the length of all sides of the tablecloth. To do this, you can sew a line with long and weak stitches, departing 5 mm from the top edge of the ruffle, and pull it to the desired length, being careful not to break the thread. Beautifully distribute the gathers along the entire length of the product. Now you can sew the product. To do this, you can sweep two parts (tablecloth and ruffles) together (this should be done exclusively with white threads, regardless of the color of the tablecloth). An experienced seamstress can immediately attach ruffles to the base using a sewing machine. All you have to do is smooth out the seam, iron the tablecloth, and you're done!
On the round table
I would also like to talk about how you can sew a tablecloth for a round table. Here again, there may be several options. It could just be a round tablecloth, the edges of which will fall beautifully, forming folds on their own. To do this, you need to measure the diameter of the tabletop for which the tablecloth is being prepared and determine how much you want to leave hanging. The last digit multiplied by two is added to the first calculation. It is important to remember that you must also leave about 2-3 cm for the hem of the tablecloth.
Here it is better to first make a pattern for the product. To do this, you need to draw a quarter of a circle with the desired radius on paper (for this you can use a homemade compass from a pencil, a button and a cord). Now you need to cut the tablecloth using the pattern. To do this, it is outlined with chalk on the wrong side of the fabric, folded in four, and cut out. The edges need to be wrapped, folded and stitched. That's all, the product is ready.
Another option is how you can make round tablecloths with your own hands: it can be a base cut to the size of the tabletop, and fabric with folds sewn onto it. You need to prepare the base in the same way as in the previous version, but it is not hemmed, but only the edges are processed. Next you need to cut out the strip for the folds. Its length will be at least twice as long as the base, and its width will be at least 30 cm. The bottom needs to be wrapped, tucked and stitched; the top edges are only processed using an overlocker. Now you need to sew a line on top with long and weak stitches and make a gather, or you can simply make small folds that are secured with basting. Next, the two parts of the tablecloth are sewn together, the seam is smoothed, and the product itself is ironed (if you iron the tablecloth with an iron and steam, the chalk marks will disappear and the product will not have to be washed).
On the oval table
I would also like to tell you how to sew an oval tablecloth. The principle of operation will be very similar to the previous one. To do this, you need to prepare a pattern exactly according to To do this, the top of the table is redrawn onto paper, and you need to add about 30-40 cm along the oval to the overhang of the product. The pattern and fabric are folded in four and the tablecloth is cut out. It is also important to take into account allowances for hemming the product. After this, you need to process the edges of the tablecloth using an overlocker and hem the product using a machine. To ensure that the tablecloth hangs well and drapes perfectly, you can sew a thin cord into the hem; it will make the product somewhat heavier, which will give the corresponding effect.
Shreds
You can create original and at the same time beautiful tablecloths with your own hands and in other ways. So, we will talk about a product made from scraps. To do this, you need to determine the size of the desired item and make patterns for the scraps. Pieces of about 20x20 cm look good. Having calculated the required number, the shreds need to be cut out, leaving 1.5 cm for allowances on each side. It is important to overcast all the edges of the cut parts so that they do not fray. Now everything can be assembled into a finished tablecloth. First, it is better to sweep all the pieces together with white threads and look at the result. If you like everything, you need to sew the product along the basting lines on a machine and smooth out the seams. But that’s not all if a woman wants to figure out how to sew durable tablecloths with her own hands. This option will require a lining. It may be one and a half to two centimeters smaller than the upper part. In this case, at the end of sewing, you need to fold the tablecloth and lining with the wrong sides and fold the edge of the tablecloth so that the edge of the lining is under the hem. But you can cut the lining to fit the top of the product. Then the edges of the tablecloth along with the lining are sewn and processed. The tablecloth made from shreds is ready!
For the kitchen
I would also like to tell you how to sew a tablecloth with your own hands for the kitchen. To do this, you will need a printed fabric that washes well. Everything is done very simply and according to an already familiar scheme. The product is cut to the size of the table, adding about 30-40 cm for overhang and a couple of centimeters for hem. After cutting, the edges must be processed and hemmed using a sewing machine. That's all, a simple and comfortable kitchen tablecloth is ready for use!
For the dining room
When planning to create various tablecloths with your own hands, a seamstress should know how to make a tablecloth for a dining room with contrasting borders. It looks very beautiful! The base of the product is cut out in the same way as in previous versions - according to the size of the tabletop. Now the curbs are being prepared. You need to cut out four strips, the width of which will be approximately 30 cm. Now the product is stitched: the borders are sewn along the edges diagonally to make the tablecloth the correct shape, and sewn to the base. The edges must be overlaid and smoothed with an iron. The bottom of the tablecloth can be rolled up and stitched or hemmed with bias tape in a matching or contrasting color.
