Sewing and thrift store finds
I have not attempted to actually sew anything for a few years now, but I wanted to make a fitted table cloth for a tall, podium-like table that I use in arts and crafts shows.
So, I dug out the old Singer, (I'm surprised it still worked)
and I gave it a try.
Here it is with 2 sides done.
And complete. Not as tight as I wanted it, but it will do. I used some of the extra material to make small cloths that I can use to cover risers on my big table.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since I'm always on a strict budget, I like to go to the thrift stores looking for anything that I can repurpose for display ideas, or anything else useful for my jewelry business. I went to the Goodwill super store, and found these:
This acrylic CD holder (I think) will make a perfect riser for one of my table lamps. I can use a drape cover cloth over or, it use it just the way it is. I think I paid $1.95.
And these, something I've been looking for, a long time. Table risers.
They look like flower pots, but are actually really hard plastic, and you can see on the tops of them, imprints where someone has used them just for this purpose. I paid $3.00 for the four.
Geat finds! Have you found anything that you use for your craft business? I'd love to hear about it.

I'm jealous you're able to whip out your sewing machine and put your own table cloth together...definitely not one of my talents...LOL :)
