well you would have to buy the fabric first. Then you have to find out how wide and long you have to cut it. I had called RH to find out size of the tables to figure out how long and then i decided how wide i wanted them. You have to cut them. But then you would need a sewing machine to finish off the edges

Denise, the second you said sewing machine I thought, 'screw it, I'm buying them'.![]()

well what you can do is cut them but bring it to a dry cleaner to just clean up the edges. The fabric i bought was great, when you pulled it apart it actually ripped off straight. The guy at the fabric store demonstrated for me, it was pretty cool haha
i wanted to buy them too believe me. But i couldnt find them. There were different types of styles and sizes but nothing that i needed
You know, BarbieGrl ordered hers from a place. Maybe instead of DIY this maybe order them. I think that site she used was very reasonable.

That's a great idea about the dry cleaner!
What about using those handheld sewing things? I saw them on TV. I don't know who makes them but I have seen them before. This way you can do smaller jobs and you don't have to buy or take out a big sewing machine. I thought about doing this as well, but I figured, I really didn't want to spend my time doing it lol

we made our own too. We bought all the fabric and had them sewn by our local tailor. We had 21 made and the whole thing cost us about $300

yup about the same cost for us too. When i couldn't find the runners i thought ok i guess the good thing is that i'll save money by doing it myself, yeah ok![]()
I thought about sewing them myself but then thought better of it. Im getting the fabric and having someone one sewing them for me.
If you're super lazy about sewing and dont want to spend a ton of money you can get fusing tape from a craft store and iron the edges under with it. It'll look hemmed and it won't cost you a ton.

I went to the garment district and bought a huge lot of fabric. My MIL is cutting and hemming and the fabric for 30 tables came to $120.

JESS: thats great that somebody is buying them from you. Some of mine got ruined with candle wax and other stuff. Plus ppl actually took some of them lol, i dont even really have any left. Everything was taken, our table numbers, the runners, thank god some ppl were stopped from taking the vases, one person was fighting with the florist and didnt understand why they couldnt take them lol. Oh yeah even the crystals off of our CP's were taken![]()
