Just try to protect tablecloths from ingrained, difficult-to-wash stains, and elegant table accessories will serve you faithfully for at least a quarter of a century. Linen does not shrink after washing, like many other natural materials. But it wrinkles a lot, so we recommend washing linen tablecloths on a gentle cycle at 40 degrees.

Before washing a linen tablecloth with embroidery, make sure that the ribbons are well secured on the reverse side. Embroidery can only be washed in cool water with a mild detergent and dried flat. Do not soak linen fabrics for a long time: the threads will swell and the product will become deformed. Do not iron finished embroidery! You can only iron the canvas from the reverse side without running the iron over the elements embroidered with ribbons.

In the interior design of the kitchen and dining room, the smallest and most insignificant, at first glance, details and decorative elements play a significant role. One of these important accessories is kitchen textiles made from natural materials - namely, tablecloths made of cotton or linen fabric. They look much more impressive than usual on the kitchen table.

In addition, tablecloths made from fabric made from environmentally friendly materials of natural origin are characterized by hypoallergenic properties. All this makes tablecloths made of natural textiles very worthy elements in creating a harmonious and stylish kitchen.

But at the same time, most tablecloths are distinguished by very unsightly colors - they are often plain, white or soft pastel shades. In this case, the products can be decorated or decorated with ribbons.

Quite simple and not particularly difficult even for novice needlewomen. The main thing in this case is patience, attention, accuracy in work and, of course, the availability of all the materials and tools necessary for the work.

Necessary materials

On a plain linen or cotton tablecloth, ribbon embroidery will look very graceful and elegant. To make such an original element of a kitchen or dining room, you will need the following types of materials:

A ready-made plain tablecloth or a piece of natural fabric (linen or cotton) from which the base of the product can be sewn.
Suitable size lining fabric.
Satin ribbons of different colors, depending on the theme of the selected image.
Additional decorative elements - beads, beads or shiny sequins.
Multi-colored threads for sewing on ribbons.
Needles for sewing.
Sharp scissors.
A simple graphite pencil.
Sewing machine.

Sequence of work

First, you will need to choose the image you like with which you plan to decorate the tablecloth using ribbons. First, it is drawn by hand or transferred to paper using carbon paper, and then, using a simple pencil, according to a template, it is applied to the tablecloth in those places where the ribbon embroidery will be done. At the same time, you don’t have to worry that these schematic sketches will be visible later, because after completing the work, all the contour lines drawn with a graphite pencil will be hidden by the tapes sewn on them.
After this, you can begin sequentially completing all the elements of the drawing. each element has some characteristics, therefore, before embroidering buds or roses from ribbons on a large tablecloth, you must first practice each such element on a small piece of fabric in order to have the skill.
If you plan to decorate the tablecloth with images of floral themes, then between the leaves or flower buds from ribbons you can embroider twigs using a “stem” stitch (needle back), but you will need to use threads in several folds to make the embroidery more prominent and expressive.
Sequins, beads or small beads can be used as additional decorative elements for the product. They are harmoniously added to the composition of ribbon embroidery.
At the final stage of work, you will need to sew lining fabric to the back of the tablecloth to hide all the unsightly seams on the wrong side of the work.
And at the very end of the process, the edges of the tablecloth can be decorated with a wide satin ribbon or fringe. Thus, the result is a very beautiful and original product, which can certainly become a real decoration for your kitchen or dining room. If properly maintained, the product can last for many years.

There are several ways to sew tablecloths, because the corners and side cuts of the fabric can be processed in different ways. In this material we have described a traditional and basic method, having mastered which you will be able to sew with your own hands not only festive or everyday tablecloths, but also kitchen napkins, towels and runners with neat corners and edges.

To sew a tablecloth with your own hands you will need:

A piece of suitable fabric needs to be the right size (from what material is best to sew a tablecloth, read the article “”; in this master class, the tablecloth was made of linen);
Threads to match the fabric and decorative trim;
Sewing machine;
Sewing supplies: tailor's scissors, ruler, measuring tape, pins, thimble, thread threader, chalk or marker;
Decor if desired (this could be: sewing, border, fringe, lace, braid, etc.);
Iron.

Step 1. Calculate fabric consumption

Measure the length and width of the tabletop;
Determine the desired length of the fabric overhang, that is, the distance from the edge of the tabletop to the edge of the future tablecloth.

The fabric overhang can be 20-40 cm or be floor-length. The longer the overhang, the more elegant the tablecloth will be, but also the more inconvenient to use, so for an everyday option, an overhang length of 20-30 cm is suitable;
When determining the length of the overhang, take into account the percentage of fabric shrinkage after washing - for cotton fabric and burlap you need to add 10 cm to the desired overhang length, for linen - 10-15 cm. You can go the other way - pre-wash and then iron the fabric thoroughly.

Now take paper and pen and calculate the fabric consumption using the following simple formula:

Please note that this formula specifies a hem allowance of 5 cm, but the hem itself will be only 4 cm wide.

Step 2. Cut the fabric

Iron the fabric if necessary, then lay it out on a work surface, make marks with a ruler and pencil, and then cut off the excess; no patterns are needed for a simple rectangular or square tablecloth.

The best way to mark the cutting line is to pull the thread out of the fabric. To do this, you need to make a small cut in the right place, pull and carefully pull out the thread, which will be your guide.

Step 3. Process the corners

Now we need to decorate the corners so that they look beautiful even from the inside out. For this:

Place the fabric face down on the table, fold its edges 1 cm to the wrong side, secure the folds with pins (baste if necessary) and iron along the entire perimeter of the fabric.

Next, on both sides of the corner, measure out segments 2 times larger than the width of the hem you planned (in this master class, the width of the hem is planned to be 4 cm, so a distance of 8 cm is measured from the corner). Then both marks must be connected using a ruler and pencil.

Fold the fabric in the corner (wrong side out) lengthwise so that the marks match and secure the fold with pins. Then we stitch the corner along the markings.

We cut off the excess in the corner, leaving only 5 mm seam allowance. Also trim the edge of the remaining seam allowance at the fold diagonally as shown in the photo below. This must be done so that the corner of the tablecloth turns out evenly.

We turn the corner out, correct it and iron it. Next, we process the remaining 3 corners of the tablecloth using the described method. This is what you should get.

Step 4. Sew the hem

And finally, we begin to process the sides: iron the hems of the entire tablecloth, secure with pins and sew (from the inside out) by machine or by hand with a blind seam at a distance of 1 mm from the fold.

Step 5. Decorate the tablecloth

If you wish, you can decorate the resulting product with lace, appliques, fringe, flounces and ruffles, embroider monograms and patterns.

Kitchen textiles made from natural materials add comfort to your home interior. By adding embroidery to the tablecloth, you will become the owner of a unique product, designed to your liking. Any craftswoman can try herself in such needlework.

Surely every housewife has a plain tablecloth in her house, which she really wants to add with an interesting pattern. Ribbon embroidery looks very beautiful on a linen tablecloth. If you do not have the suitable material available, choose the fabric yourself and get to work.

For embroidery you will need:

natural material (linen, cotton, calico);
lining material;
satin ribbons in light and green shades;
lace;
dry pastel;
decorative elements in the form of beads, beads or sequins;
sewing threads (white, green and brown);
needles;
scissors;
pencil;
sewing machine.

One of the simplest patterns that can be embroidered on a tablecloth is a sprig of roses. You can draw the diagram yourself on paper and then transfer it to the material. The schematic pattern is applied with a simple pencil. During the embroidery process, the pencil outlines will disappear behind the ribbons.

To embroider the branch, use a “back igloo” stitch using brown threads in several folds.

At the next stage, dry pastel is taken and rubbed onto paper. The resulting crumb is applied with a brush along the contours of the branch. This technique will add a three-dimensional look to the embroidery.

Roses are embroidered next. First, the thread makes rays coming out from a common point, which are folded into a kind of star. Mark five such rays in total. The length of this element can be arbitrary depending on what size you decide to embroider the flower.

Having prepared the rays, you can start embroidering a rose on the tablecloth. A needle with a ribbon of a suitable shade passes near the middle of the star, after which it is passed successively under each of the rays. Repeat these steps until you have completely covered all the rays. As a result, you will get a rose. Embroider such roses in random places along the entire length of the branch.

In addition to roses, you can embroider buds on the tablecloth. The needle with the ribbon passes through the base and is inserted into the ribbon with a slight indentation from the place where it enters the fabric.

Foliage is embroidered in the same way. The petals of an unopened rose are covered with foliage on both sides.

To give the branch a more natural look, embroider the needles with green threads, and tint the core of the rose using yellow pastels. As an additional decoration, sew sequins or beads among the foliage.

At the final stage of embroidering the tablecloth, the ribbons are fixed on the wrong side. After this, the material is ironed and a lining is sewn on in order to hide the underside of the embroidery. Sew delicate lace along the edge of the tablecloth, and sew satin ribbon bows at the corners.
