Just like matching socks, sheet sets tend to get lost. For some reason, there always seem to be more top sheets than fitted sheets. If the mate to a pretty top sheet is known to be lost or destroyed, give that clean top sheet a new life as a tablecloth.
Twin size top sheets are the perfect size for most tables. They measure approximately 72" x 108". It is already fully hemmed. If you want to dress it up a little, you can sew lace trim around the edges.
If you have a small table, cut it in half so you have 2 reusable tablecloths. You may want to either sew or use fusible webbing to turn the unfinished size so it does not unravel.
The best part of either one is that cleanup is a breeze! Shake off the loose crumbs over the trash barrel, and toss the cloth in the washing machine. This free tablecloth works especially well for families with small children who can get quite messy.
This is a great way to reuse a top sheet that doesn't match any other sheets. By re-using what you already have, you save money!
