Here is a quick and super easy fall sewing project. Simply stitch silk leaves (removed from their stems) around the edge of a purchased table cloth. How easy is that? And cute to boot!
I sewed the leaves about 1/4" from the edge of the tablecloth, all pointing in the same direction
and slightly overlapping each leaf.

Now that's a great idea! I could also see the same treatment for a mantle scarf...maybe on a woven fabric....the ideas are coming fast. Thank you for sharing your creative project. I appreciate that you stopped by my post for a visit. I hope that you'll come again often. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteYou are one clever cookie...Love this idea.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this idea!!! I've been looking for fabric to sew several fall tablecloths as family is coming. This would look BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteLisa@SuburbanRetreat
You used your creativity to come up with another neat idea! I also love the little birds on the table! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I have a brownish simple tablecloth I bought last year for Thanksgiving that needs some excitement. I think this is just the thing! Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteLIndy, what a clever idea with the leaves on the edge of the tablecloth!!! I love the new painting too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! I'm definitely adding this to my to-do list. Thanks for sharing!Your painting is fabulous as well! I paint a little and have done a pair before but yours trumps mine for sure! You are very talented!!
ReplyDeleteLindy, this is a darling idea. I doubt I've ever get around to actually doing this, but I love the look and the idea.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea and would be so fun for a fall party...thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteLove the table cloth... definitely something to copy! I'm a copier, by the way!! I am amazed that you call your paintings "practice" paintings... those are so professional! I'm totally impressed!
ReplyDeleteI love the table cloth! Looks beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!

Hi! Thanks for commenting on my blog. Goats are awfully cute, except I have heard that they eat EVERYTHING! I want chickens. Don't you have a chicken coop?
ReplyDeleteI love leaves and this is such a simple way to use them!! Thanks for the idea!!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cute! I bet you could do that to placemats, too. I'm inspired to try it...
ReplyDeleteJane
I LOVE this idea! It's so pretty and seems very simple! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cute. I haven't really seen a fall tablecloth that I like. They are all so "busy" and take away from your settings; this is great.
ReplyDeleteAh, now that is a cute idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOkay, you've gotten my creative wheels turning! This is so smart and could be used in so many different ways. Thanks for linking, Lindsey. *Hugs
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully creative tablecloth. Love it. Thanks for sharing such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the tablecloth. I want to try this. Great idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteEven I can do this kind of sewing!! Thank you!!!

Oh I'm in love, what a fun idea and a great way to make something seasonal! Would love you to join me at A Crafty Soiree, every Thursday.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Thanks for sharing. You took a ho-hum tablecloth and made it so special!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindy-
ReplyDeleteI get quite excited when I stumble upon a genius idea like yours posted here. I just adore this idea. I have a length of woven brown and white fabric that I use on my dining table at Thanksgiving. The table is huge and no cloth would fit, so I opted for yardage of unfinished fabric. After a few years using/washing it, the ends are raveling - sewing leaves along the edge is just what my cloth needs. It is going to look so nice. Thanks for the great idea. I found your link on Funky Junk.
My best- Diane
What a great idea for the tablecloth, it looks so cute!! and what a nice vignette on the table as well. Very tastefully done!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Nellie
Oh, thank you so much for the wonderful idea! I'm going to try it myself. Your post is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty tablecloth. My mom just made me a new runner that I love. Thankfully, she sews since I can't. Partying with you tonight.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so glad you linked this to TTT. It is just so pretty and so creative. Thanks. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun idea, thanks for sharing-enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI adore this idea! What a unique way to incorporate some fall into your decor! Totally going to have to "borrow" this idea! Excited to be your newest follower too! Partying with you at Cheap Chic Home!
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! and it looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI also check out your pillow with similar leaves.
Perfect for fall!
Now that's a project I can handle. I may not be able to paint, but I can sew. ;)

This made me think of the headdress I made the boys for Halloween...and wish I'd thought to sew it using a machine. :) http://katrinkajane.blogspot.com/2010/11/halloween-2010.html
