Wanting to produce a beautifully dressed table but not wanting to fork out the cash? You can do it by sewing your own table linens. This way you can change the colors of your table linens to match various table settings, colors of the seasons or for special holidays.

One way to be able to change color themes on your formal tables is to start with a basic neutral tablecloth such as cream or white. Then hem a small square cloth (45″ x 45″ or 54″ x 54″ works well) in a bright colorful print of your choice to place in the center of your table. Turn the square cloth so the four points face the four sides of the table. It doesn’t matter if your table is round, square or rectangular. The bright cloth adds just the right splash of color.

Now, you can stich napkins to match, coordinate or simply go with the same neutral color of your original tablcloth. Using the simple method, you can turn your table into whatever festive theme you wish. Bon appetite!
