The 20 Minute Tablecloth






 I've never been a table cloth girl.  I have always admired table cloths on other people's tables.  Lovely as they may be, small children are drawn to Houdini Magic Tricks with the table cloth...and that can be dangerous.  Now, the kids are older and we have a dining table with tile which requires repair...well, an overhaul, really, and that makes using a tablecloth a necessity.   So imagine my surprise when, after a few months of table cloth use, I have found a  deep love for the dining room textile.   Over the weekend, I found some Gunilla IKEA fabric I bought years ago.  It's black (perfect to cover up food stains) with colorful nature wonders all over (perfect to improve grumpy moods).  The fabric was already cut to the perfect length...just hem and sew.  It took no more than 20 minutes and goes with just about everything.  I just wish I had orange dinnerware...which would look especially beautiful.  Some different fabrics from the Gunilla line is still available at IKEA online here.
