For sewing you need only two measurements:

  • table diameter;
  • table height.

Diameter with an allowance of 10 cm will determine the main fabric. And the height of the table determines the length of the product. In the last measurement, you are free to choose any option: short, medium, long.

So:

  1. Take a tape measure and measure the diameter of the table.
  2. Add the selected length in cm to this size.
  3. Calculate how long (i.e. diameter) you have in your circle.
  4. Now you can purchase a square cut of fabric, focusing on the diameter of the product.

Important! When buying fabric, do not forget to add a few centimeters to allowances.

  2. From four sides measure and mark the radius of the table (diameter / 2) + allowances for the length.
  3. In the center, draw a point with soap / chalk or fasten a measuring tape.
  4. Next, draw a circle by moving the measuring tape over the points.
  5. Cut the resulting circle, not forgetting the allowances for the upholstery and seam.

We sew a festive tablecloth

We will make the festive model square. It will hang from four edges, forming beautiful folds. And its main length will be small, so that it would be convenient to sit at the table even in a ball gown.

Prepare a kit of the same materials and tools.

For measurements, you will need the diameter of the table + the length of the product. Now cut out the square. You can also add a few centimeters in width or length to make a rectangle. In this case, the tablecloth on both sides will be longer, creating an interesting asymmetry.

Then you need to cut the resulting square and repeat the steps described above.

Speaking of jewelry. Is it worth it to decorate the tablecloth, it's up to you. The main thing is that the decorations are appropriate, and do not interfere with the use of the product.
