I haven’t done one of these d.i.y Simple Saturday posts in a very long time.

Miss Agnes and I were out browsing the fabric aisle the other evening, and the sewing bug bit me.

I decided to go through my remnants at home, and see if I had fabric big enough to sew a small tablecloth.

I spotted a decent sized floral square of fabric, and it looked like it might do the trick.

It was too warm for the kids to play outside,

so I set them up with a movie in the living-room.

I started to get to work.

I haven’t sewed in quite awhile, so I was a bit rusty.

The littlest ones came in about every two minutes to ask a question, and see why I wasn’t finished yet…

I finished up the last of the decorative stitches, and I took the tablecloth outside.

We have a small table and chairs set on the side-porch, and I would love to spray-paint them. I haven’t gotten around to that project though…

I’m really pleased with the new tablecloth, so the spray-paint project just might get scrapped for the Summer.

Lastly, I added a few Mason jars filled with river rocks to hold the tablecloth in place. It is a little windy (all the time) here in KS, and I also didn’t want the little pup destroying the new tablecloth. I’m going to add in a few tea-lights to the jars, and illuminate them at night when we’re sitting out on the porch. It was a Simple Saturday project, and cost effective too. I had all of the supplies on hand, I just had to do a little searching.
