Oil cloth (or similar) table cloth

rosh12

Hello there!

I'm looking for an oilcloth tablecloth. Or basically anything nice and wipe-cleanable as dd is weaning and her high chair has no tray, so she has her meals at the table with us!

Where can you buy such a thing? I found an ebay shop selling them but they were quite pricey. I'd love a nice tasteful one if poss ) DH will absolutely refuse to let me put anything nasty on the table!!!!!

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you in advance.

Ikea are selling wipe-cleanable off the roll cloth at the moment - can't remember the price but I do remember thinking it was cheap compared to ebay!

John Lewis also do them if there is one near you not sure on the price though.

I bought mine in John Lewis. Lots of different designs sold by the metre. I think they also sell similar in Homebase.

Dunelm do a grea range in wipe clean tablecoths..........you buy them by the yard. Really nice patterns too.

I notice you live in Lancashire. If you are near East Manchester there's a factory shop in Broadbottom which sells the plastic covered cotton by the yard-quite cheaply too.

They are only open on Thursdays, Friday and Saturday between about 11 and 3 but are well worth a visit if it's not too far to travel.They sell ordinary material-for curtains etc rather than dressmaking- plus things like unhemmed tea towels, aprons etc.

I get mine from ebay and although they are a bit pricey, the range of patterns is fantastic and they last well.
I did see them in a large woolworths recently and Ikea sell them too. I think the John Lewis ones are quite expensive too but again, they're nice designs.

I've just bought some from Dunelm Mill, £3 per metre I think it was. I got blue with zoo animals on (it's only for the kids when they're painting, to save my new table!) but they had some really nice designs in there.

I bought mine from a roll at Laura Ashley, about 13 years ago. They still do them like that in hardware shops.

If you do decide to go with ebay, THIS is the shop I buy from.
