Tablecloth




















The hardest part of this project was dealing with the size of the tablecloth. I used one fabric for the top, and lined it with a plain peach colored fabric on the back, and neither was big enough alone to cover the whole table with anything hanging off the sides. Both fabrics had to be cut on the end, and supplemented on the sides, and then matched up just right around the edges. I also tucked two layers of 100% cotton batting in the center of the tablecloth, and attached them at regular intervals, making 4 lines perpendicular to the direction of the batting- this allows the table cloth to be used without hot pads. I used one of the few decorative stitches my sewing machine offers to topstitch the edges.
