If you I dropped off the edge of the earth, sorry, I'm still here. After much aggravation with the round tablecloth from hell,I brought the fabric to a good friend, who has done a ton of Home Dec work, for her input. Her take was that it would never hang right because of all the stretch. She suggested making it a square and putting it over a plain cloth. I talked to the woman I'm doing it for and she agreed to the idea. I cut it to be a 54" square. I also cut some of the scalloped edge off some of the extra fabric, stabilized the 2 sides that were from of the width of the fabric with an iron on tape I had, that's for things like V necks and shoulder seams in tee shirts. Then I sewed the scalloped trim on to those edges. Now I just have to do a tiny bit of hand sewing to finish off the ends. I have a king size sheet that's pale blue to make the under-cloth. That's tomorrow's project. When I finish I'll post pictures. Today I also finished up a tiered skirt for middle DD. It's a brown cotton and I'm satisfied with the final result.I'll post that picture when I post the tablecloth. In between the problems with the tablecloth, I went to our cottage for 2 weeks, relaxed and came back happy to finish up my two projects that were like a sword over my head. Juno
