What You’ll Need
- Fabric of your choice
- Measuring tape
- Fabric scissors
- Pins
- Matching thread
- Sewing machine (optional)
- Iron
Step 1: Measure your Table
Start by measuring the diameter of your table. This will determine the size of your round tablecloth. Add a few extra inches to the measurement to account for overhang and hems.
Step 2: Cut the Fabric
Using the measured dimensions, cut a circle from your chosen fabric. To do this, fold the fabric in half, then in half again. Now, measure and mark the radius from the center point (half the diameter measurement) and cut along the marked line. You should have a perfect circle when unfolded.
Step 3: Hem the Edges
To create a neat and finished edge, fold the raw edge of the fabric under about ¼ inch and press with an iron. Then, fold it under again about ¼ inch, press, and secure with pins. Repeat this process around the entire edge of the circle.
Step 4: Sew the Hem
If you have a sewing machine, stitch along the folded edge to secure the hem. If you don’t have a sewing machine, you can hand-stitch the hem using a needle and thread.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
After sewing the hem, remove the pins and give your tablecloth a final press with an iron to remove any creases. Now it’s ready to be used on your round table!
By following these simple steps, you can create a beautiful and customized round tablecloth that perfectly complements your dining decor. Whether you’re a seasoned seamstress or a beginner, making your own tablecloth allows you to showcase your creativity and personal style.
