This winter break, I decided to make a skirt for my kidney table to make my room look pretty and to cover up some junk. ;) I did not want to go into school any more than I needed to, so I bought my fabric on a whim without knowing correct measurements. I loved the fabric and figured out a way to make it work -- despite the fact that it was about 2 feet too short!
Things you will need:
- It turns out my kidney table was about 11 feet, so I suggest buying at least 4 yards of fabric -- maybe even 4.5 to be safe (I had about 3 and had to get creative!)
- Liquid Stitch (unless you are fancy and actually sew!)
- Velcro Sticky Back Strips
- Fabric Scissors
Step 1: Measure how long your fabric will have to be from the top of the table to the floor. Cut your fabric accordingly. I added about an inch and folded it, then glued it with liquid stitch so that the bottom would not fray.
(I had to add about a foot on both ends of my fabric from the leftover materials to make it fit the table).
Step 2: Cut small strips of the Velcro and attach it to the rim of your kidney table. I cut 1 1/2 inch pieces and placed them about a foot apart.
Step 3: Enjoy your fancy table skirt with space for hidden storage. ;)
I couldn't just let the remnants go to waste, so I added a little "skirt" flap to the front and back of my easel. Extra hidden storage ;)
Good luck with your table skirts!
