My last Christmas craft for the season. I finally managed to put the finishing work on some fabric I bought in Paris years ago to use it as a tablecloth.
This is one of those projects that I pull out around the holidays but have never finished. I actually thought I'd bought more fabric and would need to cut it down to an appropriate tablecloth size, but ultimately it was a bit short of standard tablecloth length. These are maybe the risks of purchasing fabric in a country where you don't speak the language AND don't use the same system of measurement. BUT - for my small kitchen table, the size ultimately worked just fine.
Because the fabric was essentially pre-cut this ended up being a VERY quick project. I used a wide size quilt binding tape to finish the tablecloth and I think it came out really nice.
I like the way this came out. It is a Christmas pattern but I think I can get away with it for Valentines Day as well? I like the pattern so much I hate to pack it away for just once a year.
After all the crafting, baking, shopping and wrapping, we're having a very quiet Christmas and it's a perfect way to start winding down the year. I hope everyone is finding peace, calm and having a Merry Christmas.
