...a new, snazzy tablecloth to bring in spring? If you are looking for an easy, inexpensive way to give your home the feel of spring, there's nothing better than a fresh print used as a tablecloth. We recommend the fabulous Amy Butler fabric line (just a few of her prints are shown above). Measure your table and figure out how many yards you'd need to cover it. Order your fabric, hem it, and throw it on the table for an instant chic update. This is, of course, also an excellent idea for when you are throwing a party (say, a spring shower? Excuse the pun...) and you need an inexpensive way to cover tables. Renting linens can be limiting because there seems to be a lack of fun fabrics at rental places. Purchasing actual linens can break the bank! Consider finding a fun fabric---online or at your favorite fabric store---and putting it to use as a tablecloth or table runner. If you don't sew, it wouldn't cost much to have your drycleaner hem these (yes, did you know that most drycleaners do small sewing jobs?) because the hems are straight and it's the most basic, quick sewing job out there. Happy spring!P.S. If you REALLY want to save $$$, consider looking for fabric remnants on Ebay. Often, the remnants are just the right size to suit a table, and you'll pay much less!
