I recently noticed that my tablecloth had a couple stains that wouldn't come off and decided I needed to replace it - whenever. Yesterday as I was looking thru a box of fabric, for something else, I came across this 2 yd piece of red/black plaid. It's a nice crisp fabric, right color & just big enough for a tablecloth! A fabric stash is a good thing. So in a couple hours - ta-da, new tablecloth!
It wasn't quite big enough across, so I trimmed a little off the end and added it to the side. And thanks to the plaid, you can't even tell where the seam is. I trimmed a little off the corner points so they wouldn't be so long. And instead of hemming it, I used black bias tape for the edges. Don't you just love black bias tape!
That's a very homey, happy looking table.
