woven table cloth fabric
I am looking for fabric to make a table cloth for my harvest table. Since it is an odd size it is more practical for me to make this. My problem is finding fabric to do this. I looked today at Hancocks and JoAnn's and they had nothing. What I would like is something like deinim weight sport fabric in white. A blend would be nice for no ironing.
There used to be a fabric out there that had the check woven in the fabric, this is what I was looking for. Any ideas? I Googled and didn't find what I was looking for. Thanks in advance for any ideas. |
Have you tried Hancocks of Paducah?

are you thinking of of waffle cloth?

Table cloths are hard to find these days. I would love to find some old fashioned red/white check damask table cloths like our grandmothers and mothers had. The kind you see in old movies at the Italian restaurants. No luck, I have heard that the looms that make them are no longer usable. But that is another story. My favorite harvest tablecloth is a wide back batik. I was able to cut it to fit my oval table. It's not the easy wear you mentioned but there is the advantage of when I get tired of it I can cut it up or use it for a back.

This isn't "fabric" per se, but it could work for what you need:
http://www.amazon.com/DII-Cotton-Mac...0_SR214%2C320_ I think there were also poly ones available. |
Look for a Good Housekeeping table cloth...it already has the checks.

I know exactly what you're looking for. I don't think those can be found anymore, except maybe in thrift stores. I think the closest you can get today would be homespun fabrics. Let me know if homespun fabric will work for you. Good luck in your search.

Have you thought about tablecloth linen? I an on my Kindle as my pc crashed so I don't have access to my info. I did a quick search and found this site - warehousefabricsinc.com
They have a wide assortment of colors and linen in cotton and blends. Good Luck, ladibug |
