Steps to make your own beautiful block printed tablecloth

Measure Your Table

Measure the top of your table using your measuring tape. When taking measurements, it can be useful to make a simple diagram.

    For a square or rectangle table, measure the length and width of the table.

    For an oval-shaped table, measure across the centre of the table from one of the longest sides to the other.

    For a round table, measure from one side to the other across the centre of the table.

Drop Length and Hem Type

The length of the drop is the quantity of cloth that "drops" from the tabletop. There are three standard drop lengths, and you must choose one before determining how much fabric you require.

    Short (8 to 12 inches): This creates an unpretentious appearance and is ideal for everyday use.

    Mid-length (16 to 24 inches): This length is regarded as semi-formal.
    Floor-length (28 to 29 inches): This offers a very formal appearance and is normally reserved for tables where no one will be sitting.

Remember that these are only guidelines. Simply measure from the edge of the table and decide how far you want the cloth to hang to create a unique drop length. You would also have to calculate how much fabric you'll need for the tablecloth hem.

Calculate Fabric Yardage

In your diagram, add the drop length and hem length to each side of the table. Keep in mind that each side will have a drop and hem. This will indicate how much cloth you'll need to purchase.

Consider the length of the table after you've added the drop lengths and hems for the two sides. Divide that figure by 36 inches to get the number of yards of cloth you'll need.

Examine the width of your table with the drop lengths and hems added. You don't need to add any extra fabric yardage to the amount you determined from the length if it's less than 44 inches (the width of a standard bolt of fabric).

Cut Your Block Printed Fabric

It's finally time to cut the fabric to the size you determined. Based on the shape of your table, here's how to accomplish it.

    For square or rectangle tables: Cut the length and width of the cloth, as well as the amount required for the drops and hems.
    For oval tables: Use the same cutting instructions. Place a dinner plate in each corner of the fabric and trace around it. To make rounded edges for your tablecloth, cut along this line.
    For round tables: Fold the fabric in half and note the fold's centre. Create a semicircle from the mark using a flexible tape measure or string.
