Oh Sew Easy Table Toppers
Beautiful tabletops, like the ones you see in magazines, can be easily achieved with a few yards of fabric, a little bit of measuring, and a couple hours of sewing. If you've always wanted to achieve this look, but didn't know how, then Oh Sew Easy Table Toppers is a great place to start.
This book covers all the bases. In the fabic section, the authors not only show you how to select fabric, but how to measure your table for a perfect fitting tablecloth, and how to camoflauge seams when your material isn't quite wide enough. In the construction section, they describe how to make placemats, runners, tablecloths, and napkins (and a few rings, too) of all sorts. Additionally, they discuss important techniques to make your creations look professional, such as making perfect miters and beautiful bound edges.
There are no patterns included in this book, so it's important to arm yourself with a good rotary cutter and mat. However, don't let this detour you from creating your own table masterpieces - the instructions in this book are detailed enough that even a beginner will be able to create their own designs without any problems.
