Better still is to make one of your own that complements your decor. Measuring – measure the table carefully to determine the amount of fabric needed. Diameter of the table top = A (e.g: 14″) Top edge of table to floor X 2 = B (e.g: 24″ + 24″ = 48″). Width of hem X 2 = C (e.g: 1″ + 1″ = 2) Add up all dimensions = D (e.g: 14″ + 48″ + 2″ = 64″). Fabric – If fabric is less than this dimension(D) sew 2 – 3 widths together to form a square with each side = to D. Sew these widths off-center so the seams do not end up down the center of the table. Cutting – Fold square into a triangle by matching up opposite corners. Continue folding the fabric a total of 8 times. Place on a solid surface. Divide the measurement D in half. Pin a tape measure to point of fabric at this measurement, and move the end of the tape across the fabric, marking
