In addition to covering the dining room or kitchen table, a handmade tablecloth can also cover small round tables. To form a round tablecloth, you may need to sew several pieces of fabric together depending on the size of the table. You can learn by using different fabrics. In fact, you can sew a tablecloth with heavy cotton, linen or laminated cotton (for tablecloths to be used only for eating).

Step 1. Measure the diameter of the table top

If you want to make a tablecloth that reaches the floor, measure the length from the table top to the floor as well.

If you don't want the tablecloth to touch the floor, take the measurements of the length you want. For example, if you have to sit at the table, you will surely choose a tablecloth that reaches up to your legs
