Anyone who relies on table decorations for festive occasions knows that tablecloths play a particularly important role. It could serve as a monochrome backdrop for pretty decorative items or become an eye-catcher itself. Variants with ruffles, for example, look great and offer a nice way to liven up a party. The slightly ruffled fabric is very popular with most women and looks playful and elegant at the same time. Whether for a children's birthday party or a garden party in shabby chic style, sewing a ruffled tablecloth would be a great idea.
If you haven't found an appealing variant on the market, you cansew yourself. First measure the size of the table top and calculate the desired overhang. Most ceilings reach to the floor. When calculating the amount of fabric, keep in mind that the ruffle fabric will bunch up, so you will need to double its length. A fabric length of 50 centimeters will produce a 25 centimeter long decoration. You can combine different colors to create a beautiful effect. Choose thread colors that match different fabrics.
A simple idea would be to border an old plain tablecloth with ruffles. Or even easier - sew floor-length ruffles on only one or three sides. This is particularly effective for dessert tables, which are usually right next to a wall.
It requires practice and experience. That's why you can do it once or twice for small pieces. Also keep in mind that if you have long fabric measurements, it would make sense to work in sections.
