Round seance table cloth10/29/2023 Trim seam slightly to get rid of any frayed threads. Pin one of the narrow panels to the big panel, wrong sides together. To make a nice finished seam I chose to sew a princess seam: I, then, cut a second piece of fabric 70″ long. Adding ½ inch to each panel for a seam allowance, gave me a final measurement of 15″. Which meant that two 14 ½ inch panels needed to be added to either side. That would leave the center panel 41 inches.ħ0 – 41 = 29 inches needed to be added. I knew I would need 1 inch for seam allowances (1/2″ for either side). So next, I had to calculate the size of panels I would need:Īfter preshrinking and trimming the selvedges, my fabric was 42″ wide. Meaning I needed a piece of fabric 70X70 inches, which also meant I had to piece the fabric. Just to give myself some wiggle room, I added an extra inch. Then if turning under ¾ inch for the hem, add 1 ½ inches.Īll together: 20 + 47 ½ + 1 ½ = 69 inches. Note: specific measurements for my tablecloth are in italics.įirst, measure the diameter of the table. To calculate the size the tablecloth needed: Read on for the instructions for this simple sewing project. So last week, I got busy and sewed a pretty round tablecloth to cover it. We already had a small round table to use for a side table, but it looked just a tad bit shabby next to our brand new chair. The chair arrived last week and it fits perfectly in the corner by the window. We had to order a new one and wait the 6 to 10 weeks for it to come in. Of course, when we went back to buy that chair because we couldn’t find any others that worked for us, it had already been sold. We finally found one in February, but decided to keep looking since it was a bit over what we had wanted to pay. It took us a while to find a chair that would be comfortable for both of us short enough for me, tall enough for him. This past Christmas, Dave and I decided rather than buying each other gifts, we’d take that money and buy a reading chair for the corner of our bedroom.
