Where can I buy a cheap tablecloth?

meryll83

Having never bought one before (oh the shame!), the only place I can think of where I've perhaps seen them is Debenhams, but I'm guessing there'll be cheaper places out there.

Please can someone help me out?

You could try just getting a remnant from a fabric shop and putting a hem on it.

I did this and got a really posh looking tablecloth for a grand total of £2.99! (it was nice thick material too!)

Good idea, but I don't have a sewing machine and don't think I'm that hot with a needle and thread! :rotfl:

Buy a cheapo bed sheet or duvet cover from Asda or somewhere, use that double sided tape stuff you iron to stick to get it the right shape.

pastizzi

la roudette do a nice range of colours and different sizes they also do the wipe clean ones or traditional damask or just plain cotton. if you have never shopped with them before you could take advantage of a first order discont even though they are reasonably priced anyway

Dunelm Mill do a big range of oilcloth and vinyl type tablecloths on the roll that you can buy by the metre. I got a gorgeous flower design there last week, it was only around £2.99 a metre. Good value and hardwearing, though it does depend what you are looking for!

I have an oilcloth from John Lewis. I love it - but my table's in the kitchen so maybe not as suitable for a fancy one in a dining room. It's wipe clean but not exactly cheap - I think I was a wee bit over £20 for a table that seats 6.

i got a couple from the range, they were about £5 i think. pretty good quality, i got a runner from there too.

Depends what you want it for! Markets have some nice ones, the sort of shop that sells everything has them. Never bought one in this country - favourite every day one is from italy, favourite dress one is from Morocco!!

Make sure you get the right size for your table though - you need a good overlap. What size is your table - we can give you a bit more help if we know how big a tablecloth you need! Also need to know if it is just for covering the table, or if it is for a grand event of some sort.
