The Perfect Tablecloth
Rain was coming down in torrents, our house had an aura of stillness, silence before a storm. Wonderful sensations, excitement, the knowledge that we were in this colourful dream, about to unfold.
As tablecloths were taken out of the cupboard, layed out and then dismissed as not suitable, the decision was not made until the last one had been judged and decided wanting. The same cloth that had been the first would go back on again, and after all was said and done that was the perfect cloth. The pattern was very distinct, it was all over lace, with crocheted hearts . I loved running my fingers along the bumpy pattern outlining the shapes .
How we peeked through the banister and watched the dining room transformed, from shabby to majestic for every festive occasions. Crockery or really parts of sets that had mostly disappeared were spread out but the few remaining pieces were still treated with reverence. Once that cloth had been laid out we knew fun was in store.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE CLOTH I NEED?
Its very simple just lay a tape measure over the surface of the table and add aprox 25 cm to each end to achieve the correct drape that is the size you require. If your table is 2.00 meters long you would purchase aprox 2.50 meters. You do exactly the same to the width measure the width and then add aprox 25 cm to each side. The most important issue is to have the cloth that suits you best so if it is a few centimetres short it is can still work. Keep in mind that if a cloth is too wide then those that sit around will have lots of cloth on their laps and that may not be so comfortable. Remember either till the floor or 20-25cm drape.
