You're totally right, Kate. Now that I think about that way, I should be doing things like this more often! My mindset is definitely changing to be more like that. Thanks for the compliment!
I don't think it's weird to sew a 2.99 tablecloth. You also invested your time into shopping for them. I'm crazy too, I will always try to find a way to make do. I hate that we live in such a "throw away" mentality. I save all my gift bags and tissue paper. I'm always the crazy lady at the birthday party, grabbing all the bags and folding them up to reuse. You aren't a total nut job, just thrifty and talented!
So cute! I love using vinyl tablecloths outdoors, but I've never added a cute ruffle. It makes such a difference. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a wonderful day!
Thanks Brooke! It's funny you say that, because now I'm comparing this one to the plain oblong one I have for my rectangular table, and the plain one it bugging the heck out of me! But I won't go that far... this time :)
Wow, what a great idea! They turned out great! Thanks for sharing at Give Me The Goods Monday! Hope to see you again at the next party ;) Jamie @Better With Age
I love it! Very impressive and I'm always of the mind set that you can "just cut it up" to make something work!

DeleteWell I think it's just such a clever idea. Love how it turned out. Great way to solve a problem!

Thanks, Jann! You're helping me feel less sheepish about it... maybe I should be focusing on the problem-solving aspect of the project!
DeleteSuch a pretty tablecloth. I need to up my sewing skills. I would love to make something like this. Thank you for sharing your tutorial.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it! It's really a pretty easy project. I just started sewing a few years ago! And a lot more lately :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! It's so nice to hear from other people who have a similar mindset to me! In reality, I think we might be the SANEST of them all :)

DeleteIt came out so cute! Your solution worked great! Good luck with the party :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! I am proud that I was able to problem solve instead of starting from scratch again!
DeleteThey look adorable and I am so glad you decided to share this. I find this post hilarious because it reminds me of myself!
ReplyDeleteThanks, PJ. I love hearing about other people who do these kinds of things :)
