A Darling Picnic Bench and Ruffle Table Cloth


Hello Friends!

isn't kid furniture the cutest?
i always find myself gravitating towards it when shopping at flea markets and antique shops. Who can resist buying an adorable little picnic bench, especially with two little girls? i thought it would be perfect for the girls bedroom and envisioned us using it to read, color and have tea parties.


Ever since i saw a picture of a ruffle fitted table cloth i wanted to try and make one for my own dining room table. it was much easier starting off by trying to make one for the girls picnic table first.
Did you know that Ikea is selling linen for $5.99 a yard? i was ecstatic to find that out and thought i would share it with you. They have a pretty grey that i'm hoping they get back in stock soon!
*please note that the table cloth has not been washed to get that nice raw edge and no strings or threads have been cut yet.

I'd like to say thank you to a couple of fabulous ladies for featuring me on their blogs..
Thank you so much ladies!

    It looks so nice in your home. I love this old table, and the cloth you have been sewing for it. Lovely photos! I like your french ladder too, makes me think of old times. :)

    How adorable! You did a great job on that pretty tablecloth. I love that little picnic table too. Just one little bit of concern though...do you think that table would have lead paint on it?

    I love kid's furniture too! Everything is so much cuter in the miniature. And this ruffled table cloth is the cutest thing ever. I am in love with that color!

    I have the same title picnic table! I found mine at my thrift store. I can't sew (I don't even have a sewing machine), but that is sooo cute!

    Love this Cheryl~how absolutely darling!! Your little ruffle on the cloth is just perfect~I love it. I tried the ruffles on my chair slips, but they didn't come out right for some reason- probably something I didn't do right! lol! Anyway, thanks for the tip about Ikea's fabric-that is a fantastic deal!! :)
