Choose fabric
A festive tablecloth will be needed for many events - weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, New Years, family celebrations.
Let's figure out what material you can make a special home textile item from. There are three main types of fabrics that are best suited for sewing.
Cotton
Excellent material that has waterproof properties. It is from such a cloth that tablecloths for cafes and restaurants are made, because it is able to tolerate washing not in a sparing mode and after that remain in excellent condition .
Another advantage of this material is that the material flows beautifully from the table, rather than puffing.
Linen
Alas, products made from such material are short-lived, although they look amazing . It is almost impossible to remove stubborn spots from the surface of such a canvas.
IMPORTANT! In order to keep the product as long as possible, a shorter type of tablecloth is placed on top of it - naperon.
Due to this, the beautiful edges of the linen tablecloth are visible, but the center is reliably protected from pollution.
Silk
Silk tablecloths are very rarely used in everyday life. But at the same time they look great on the festive table. A great option for a wedding or prom in a cafe.
Fabric consumption

HELP . On products sewn for special occasions, the overhang is increased to 40 cm.
After that, take paper with a pen and use the formula to calculate the amount of material you need.
Sewing
The sewing process will not cause difficulties. After all, it consists of cutting a cut of the required shape and size, as well as processing slices and decorating the product.
Having performed the calculations, you need to cut the prepared fabric by cutting out the flap necessary for the table.
Edging and Decorating
It is very important to qualitatively process the edges of the tablecloth so that the product looks beautiful on both sides and lasts a long time.
To do this, put the fabric on the wrong side to us and begin to bend the edges 1 cm, while fixing it with special pins. Ironed well. After that, we turn it again and draw it up.
Next, we sew the edges on a sewing machine, not forgetting to pull out pins along the way.
The festive tablecloth can be decorated with various decorative elements:
- Satin ribbon;
- Embroidery;
- Knitted elements;
- Lace;
- Ruffles.
