How to Connect a Round Crochet Lace Tablecloth to a Circle Skirt
You found a beautiful round crochet lace tablecloth and would like to attach it to a simple circle skirt. But how do you do that and not ruin the tablecloth? It really isn't that difficult and in no time you have a unique and beautiful skirt. Read on to learn how to connect a round crochet lace tablecloth to a circle skirt.
Things You'll Need:
Round crochet lace tablecloth
Circle skirt
Tape measure
Scissors
Safety pin
Straight pins
Hemming tape
Cording or yarn
Sewing machine or needle and thread
Step
1
Lay the round tablecloth on a surface so it lays flat. Lay the circle skirt on top of it. Make sure that the tablecloth is at least 2 inches longer than the skirt to allow for a waistband on the tablecloth.
Step
2
Find the center of the tablecloth. You can do this by either measuring or folding it, meeting the edges and locating the center. Mark the center with a safety pin.
Step
3
Measure the length of the circle skirt; add 2 inches. Measure that length from the edge of the tablecloth towards the center. Snip the tablecloth at that point. Carefully separate the threads until it begins unraveling towards the center of the tablecloth. When you have unraveled that first row, the center of the tablecloth will come off. Cut the excess thread on the tablecloth and tie the end. This will become the waistband.
Step
4
Pin the hemming tape to the waistband of the crocheted lace. Stitch using either a sewing machine or needle and thread.
Step
5
Slip the circle skirt under the crochet lace. Fold the 2 inches of the lace waistband with the hemming tape over the circle skirt waistband. Thread some cording or yarn through the crochet lace waistband so you can adjust it to fit the circle skirt waistband. Pin the lace waistband to the circle skirt waistband. Stitch.
Step
6
Thread elastic on the underside of the lace waistband. Try the skirt on and adjust the elastic to fit. Pin the elastic at that point and stitch. Remove pin and cut excess elastic.
Tips & Warnings
Don't machine wash this skirt. Hand wash and hang to dry.
