If you want to sew a custom-fit table cloth - that is simple & elegant - I will take you through the steps here! I actually used a large sheet (I bought from a thrift store for $2) for the material - and made the top of the table cloth a double-thickness. There's some bias tape piping which I used around the table & each corner has a ruffle - as well as the center of each side. After looking at this, it reminded me of "peplum" style skirts I've seen. If you haven't seen them, they're adorable - I made one here - a straight skirt with removable ruffle peplum! I hope you enjoy the instructable - you can alter this to make it your own style as well!

Signing UpStep 1: Measure & Cut Out Material
First, measure the table top & cut out the material (leaving an extra 3/4 inch on all sides for seam allowance). If the material is thin, cut out two layers, iron and sew them together.

Much cheaper that way. Top sheets normally have way less wear, too.
I made curtains for the rental; they were stolen; oh, well. Easy come, easy go.
