Crochet lace

Options:

  • Craftswomen will be able to knit a coherent web, the work is troublesome, but it will not be necessary to sew parts of the product together

  • on the draw paper draw a pattern in the form of a quarter of a circle along the radius of the product;
  • we fold the matter four times from the wrong side;
  • we apply a pattern to a matter, we fix with pins, we cut out;

Festive option

Festive option

Option of a festive tablecloth with folds:

  • on a pattern we cut out a basis, leaving allowances for seams;
  • round base to overlap;
  • we cut a strip of fabric at least 35 cm wide, and 3 times as long as the circumference of the table top;
  • One side is bent and stitched, and the other is sewn to the base.

According to the shape of the table

Best looks tablecloth, repeating the shape of the tabletop. If there is no suitable size, it is better to use a long one, but not a short one.

Select the shape of the table:

For a square or rectangular tabletop, measure the length of the sides and add 50 cm on each side. If the table is 1 m by 1 m in length and width, then a cloth of 1.5 m by 1.5 m and an overhang of 25 cm on all sides is required.
Beige color fits any interior.

Beige color fits any interior.

A practical choice for a rectangular tabletop is the tablecloth case. The product will extend the life of the old tables, and for sewing are used thick fabrics with polyester, which do not change shape after washing, do not fade and are not wrinkled.

A round or square tablecloth is suitable for a round tabletop. We measure the diameter of the base, we add 0.4 meters for the round shape, and for the square one - the diameter of the square must be longer than the diameter of the table top by 0.4 m too.

The board
Design solution for a round table - we lay one on top of the other two panels of a contrasting color. We spread a long tablecloth on the tabletop, and on top we supplement it with a square piece of fabric.
The oval table top assumes the oval and rectangular shape of the cloth. We begin to measure the base on the sides, not paying attention to the rounded edges.It remains to add 0.5 m on each side to find out the parameters of the product.

Playing with color

From the choice of color depends on the impression of the room. It is impossible to combine a motley service with a bright cloth, on the perimeter of which rhinestones and fringe are sewn. Instead of a harmonious image, we get an extravaganza of colors that gives the impression of frivolousness.

Secrets of color combinations:

  • Matter in pastel colors are often used for festive tableware. On white, dairy, and beige fabrics, any devices stand out, especially in the national style, the sets look popular with colorful floral patterns.
  • Products made of light-colored fabric suitable for the main coating of the tabletop. From above we make a short canvas in tone or in a contrasting color; we can put a path made of colored fabric in the center. The combination of white bottom and bright top tablecloth is suitable for corporate parties or youth parties.

From the choice of color depends on the impression of the room

From the choice of color depends on the impression of the room

Choose a color relative to the event:
  • New Year's Eve presupposes red, green, golden or silvery shades;
  • On Valentine's Day, we serve the table with a long cloth of pink or peach color, decoration with ruffles and bows is allowed;
  • by March 8, we use products of saturated cherry, plum or emerald color;
  • by Easter we cover the tabletop with a cloth white, milk or cream color. Cloth and napkins embroidered with floral and Christian motifs;
  • for a children's holiday we make short light tablecloths with cheerful drawings in the form of cartoon characters;
  • for a family celebration we choose coffee or beige fabrics, we supplement them with napkins in the same color range.

Natural light matter with patterns repeating the pattern on the service will be suitable for any holiday. From the color perception depends on the mood of people at the table. Shades of warm gamut (red, orange) cause appetite, set up to communicate. Cold tones (blue, purple) muffle the feeling of hunger, restrained.

For any holiday suitable natural light matter with patterns

The board
We use a hint from designers - in the pastel decoration of walls and light furniture, we choose a canvas with large bright patterns to focus attention on the table. If the room is replete with the abundance of bright colors, the product will be balanced in soothing colors.

There are two secrets how to transform a room:

Choose curtains and a tablecloth in one color, as a result we get a single composition. Although here, too, everything should be harmonious, if the patterns are large on bright fabric, the room will visually decrease. The best solution is suitable for textile curtains in delicate colors with a discreet pattern along with a tablecloth in the same range.
More costly option - when ordering covers and upholstery for chairs, allocate funds for tailoring the tablecloth of the same matter. The time spent is worth creating a harmonious image of the room - a dinner table for family holidays with chairs in one range looks solemn and tasteful.

Choosing tablecloths

  • for everyday use need a material that does not remain stains and smudges, resistant to thermal effects. White canvas is better to postpone for the holidays. If you want to make a light note on weekdays, then use black and white panels or beige fabric with a discreet pattern;
  • the kitchen fits beautifully with the interior in bright colors - red, yellow, blue, purple;
  • if the everyday tablecloth is tired, then several contrasting openwork napkins should be spread out on top to liven up the interior. Napkins are easy to wash; you can create a different style every day;
  • having several tablecloths, we learn to combine them with each other.Today, under the bottom we lay a long beige cloth, and on top is a heavy, short, wine-colored fabric. Tomorrow we put a handmade knit product on the base. One or several narrow paths of emerald color can be laid on the main cover, complementing with glass vases with flowers.

In a beautiful, classic style

In a beautiful, classic style

An old natural fabric canvas will change if you decorate it with lace, sew around the edges of a golden or silver fringe. It is enough to embroider in the corners of the tablecloth an iris flower or a bouquet of forget-me-nots in lilac tones, repeating the pattern on napkins.

Style match

It is not enough to choose the cloth according to the shape of the table top, the color and texture of the fabric.

We consider the combination with the style of the room:

  • vintage - A matter with a geometrical ornament, products from grandmother's chests will do. We make an aged chest of drawers or cupboard knitted napkins, we make natural linen with embroidery richelieu or floral motifs;
  • classic - white or pastel cloth embroidered with light threads, lace can be sewn around the perimeter;
  • English style - dense dark fabric with an almost imperceptible pattern. We select curtains, cushion covers and tablecloth in one color;
  • Empire or Baroque - damask canvas in pastel colors, embroidered with satin, golden and silver threads, a fringe sewn around the perimeter;
  • Mediterranean style - products from natural fabrics in warm colors. Sand, pistachio, olive and creamy shades will do;
  • country music - light yellow or straw fabrics with a bright floral pattern;
  • hi-tech and minimalismblack or steel fabrics.

  • stains from coffee, wine and juice are not eaten, easy to wash;
  • color does not fade from sunlight;

Teflon impregnated fabrics

We take advantage of the innovation - Teflon-impregnated tablecloths. The material does not fade in the sun, under the influence of water and moisture does not fade paint. It looks equally good on the kitchen countertop, and on a wooden table in the country. Pollution is removed with a spatula, then wipe with a damp sponge.

Pros:

  • water-repellent impregnation, stains from colored liquids do not remain;
  • Teflon fabric is resistant to thermal effects;
  • choose fashionable items under the burlap, in the cell, strip or polka dot.

Minuses:

  • the range of colors is not too wide;
  • impregnation loses properties over time;
  • on dense fabric it is impossible to smooth out folds, as on linen or cotton fabric.

Oilcloth

The solution is suitable for families with small children. Choose bright colors for the kitchen, also we lay the tables on balcony or cottage. The material is cheap, it will not spoil in the rain, we use bamboo stands for hot dishes.

Under the transparent material all defects are visible, especially cracks and chips. Before glazing the silicone fabric, process the tabletop from dirt and stains.

Cotton

Cotton products are quickly washed and ironed, long retain their original appearance. When counting the amount of matter, we take into account that cotton “sits down” when washing, you need to add another 20 cm for stock. A significant drawback is that the fabric absorbs spilled liquid, and if the product is large, it is spilled on the knees of the guests sitting at the table.

The board
It is best to choose textiles with the addition of synthetics, that is, polyester or viscose. Natural fabrics can be boiled, but products from blended fabrics should not be boiled.
It is best to choose textiles with synthetic additives.

It is best to choose textiles with synthetic additives.

We serve a festive table with cotton cloth:
  • monochromatic fabrics will suit any celebration, they are complemented by contrasting color tablecloths, napkins or walkways;
  • it is interesting to use products in color repeating shades of precious stones;
  • For theme parties we lay a black canvas, white napkins stand out against its background. Snacks served on black cutlery;
  • for registration of the candy bar at a wedding or children's party. A separate table is covered with long cotton fabric of white, beige, soft pink or lavender color, flounces and lace are allowed.

Cotton fabric in a cage, which is combined with bright tacks, appliqué and geometric pattern in the design, is suitable for modern style. For the kitchen, choose a beige, coffee or white-brown gamut for tablecloths and napkins, we sheathe thin lace around the perimeter.

Linen

Linen tablecloths will last for decades if the tabletop is served only on holidays. The fabric does not slip on the table, washes away from stains, when ironing forms folds. The material quickly absorbs the spilled liquid, but gets dirty and "sits down" after washing. Even high-quality dyes are washed out after 8 washes, and the canvas loses its original appearance.

If the fabric is “sat down,” you can fix the situation by attaching a frill of the same material along the edge or sew handmade lace together.

Linen cloth produced in bright colors, which loses on the background of the range of synthetic fabrics. But such products of white or beige color have different texture, decorated with lace or merezhka. Use during the holiday will give a sense of luxury, complement ethnic or romantic style.

Silk

Silk tablecloths are covered with tables at weddings or gala events.

Not suitable for use on weekdays. On the fabric immediately visible clues and bumps, she quickly crumpled.

For a romantic evening, choose light gray, pink or lavender cloth with overhang to the floor. The table is decorated candles, glass and flower bouquets.

Beautifully look products with embroidery, which can be a contrasting color or repeating the shade of the canvas. Monochrome fabrics are in harmony with any interior, suitable for a wedding gift.

Tablecloths and napkins

For serving with tablecloths using napkins. They can be:

The size is divided into table and tea, that is, 46 by 46 cm and 35 by 35 cm. It is necessary to pick up napkins to match the basic canvas. Products are in the sets of table set, but they can be easily sewn or knit.

For serving with tablecloths using napkins

We decorate the table with napkins:
  • for everyday use paper napkins square or rectangular in shape, which spread the cutlery;
  • It is unacceptable to use paper napkins at the celebration. At each personal place we lay the fabric products folded or folded. Festive option - napkins made of expensive fabric, tucked into porcelain or silver rings, complemented with flower buttonholes and artificial pearls;
  • Practical non-woven napkins are suitable for children's parties and home feasts. They will bring bright notes, complement the atmosphere of the holiday;
  • For small gatherings with friends, small underlay wipes are suitable, which are in harmony with the color of the main panel. Although you can decompose them directly on a wooden or glass tabletop. Plate with cutlery should be placed on a napkin.

On the glass table

Glass tables put in small kitchens. Furniture visually expands the space, it seems weightless. The disadvantage is the unpleasant ringing of cutlery on the tabletop, so you want to cover it with soft matter. But the panel will hide the beauty of the glass, it is better to use the coasters under the plates and the slider. A runner is a narrow fabric strip in the center or across the table. With the help of cloth, we close the places of the glass table top, which are more often exposed.

In the basement is often located the lower shelf. We arrange low vases with flowers, compositions from seashells, we lay a rug or a piece of bright fabric.

At the wedding

Banquet tables are decorated with wedding tablecloths, table with boutonnieres and gifts. The shape of the cloth repeats the shape of the tabletop, that is, they are round, square or oval.

With bright elements

With bright elements

For weddings you need attributes:
  • Naperoni is the same tablecloth, only it is placed on top of the main panel. It is faster to replace it with another one, if dirt or liquid has spilled, than to change the long bottom panel. A set of two panels muffles the sound of cutlery.
  • Banquet or stand-up skirts - used for decorating, falling from the tabletop, linen.
  • Muleton - covered as a substrate for the main panel to avoid slipping.
  • Runners, runners or tracks - we set the table on top of the tablecloth, although you can do without it. It looks interesting the main canvas of coarse matter with tulle track. Allowed to use at the same time the tracks of different color, interlaced on the tabletop.

For wedding tablecloths suitable linen or cotton fabric with the addition of synthetics. Silk cloths are used less often, and the price is higher.

Napkins and naperons should be sewn from the same fabric texture as the main fabric, and synthetics will be suitable for table skirts.

Wedding Stylistics

We make the table in the color scheme, which is combined with the style of the celebration:

  • Classical style - strict satin linen with the same paths. On the canvas should not be lace, ruff and shuttlecocks. We choose fabrics of white, milk or cream color. The color of the napkins should match the tone that prevails in the design hall. Shade a bright palette of vases with flowers - roses and peonies.
  • Provence - the airiness of the style is expressed by the tablecloths of lilac, lavender, lightblue, yellow, steel color. We supplement with ribbons, embroidery and lace. On the tables we set the decor - figures of angels, cells with pine branches and flowers.
  • Chebbi-chic - for weddings in floral style. Choose natural fabrics with floral motifs. The prevailing palette is white and light pink. Serve the tabletop with a long white tablecloth with large roses, complement it with lace tracks, bows, lace.
  • Vintage - suitable for celebrations in nature. The abundance of bright details, flower bouquets, old sets and figurines. On the sets must be drawn large flowers. Tablecloths are sewn from expensive materials, decorated with flounces, rhinestones and beads. Instead of a white cloth, choose coral, pink or aloe.
  • Marine style involves a combination of two colors - white and blue. The design of the hall in bright colors is combined with white covers on the chairs and napkins. Worktops are covered with long blue cloths, in the center we place the tracks in white and blue stripes.

With a white tablecloth

White tablecloths will decorate any meal, although stains quickly appear on the fabric, it needs to be washed and bleached more often. As an option - to use fabrics from unbleached flax, to cover the white paths on top of the colored cloth.

White lace panels made of natural fabrics look festive. Beautiful matter wears out, absorbs liquid and is poorly smoothed. If you choose a cloth for the feast with the inclusion of synthetic fibers, it will facilitate care. Such products easily wash off stains, dry quickly, do not crumple.

Design Tips:
  • Choose a panel of any red hue - from scarlet to deep ruby ​​color. We will spread a narrow white or red-white path along the center, which will divide the table into zones, reduce the brightness of the composition.
  • Above white long linen spread out a red lace tablecloth, napkins need of red fabric with white lace.
  • In the tone of red matter, you can sew covers on chairs made of the same fabric, but there is an interesting idea - we supplement it with white covers, we tie it with red satin ribbons.
  • We lay a long white-red fabric on the base, and decorate the top with a short dense cherry-colored tablecloth.
