We've been playing cards on a regular white plastic 5' round table folding table from Lowe's. I have been using a black polyester tablecloth - which worked fine but eventually got little "pills" on it. And it would slide off the edge sometimes.
So, I was looking for a better solution.....
I ordered some 72" wide cloth from Ebay. It's a little hard to find since most cloth is 60" wide at the most.
Here it is just draped over the table.
I wanted a fitted look....so I used the black table cloth as a pattern.
And just free-hand cut the green cloth. Not too terribly important to be accurate since the fitted look will be done with a drawstring taking up any slack.
I just sewed a little pocket all the way around the circumference of the cloth. Boy, a 6' circle is a LONG way to sew!
Here is the underside of the table with the cover "cinched".
And here is the finished product. I think we'll like it!

Very very nice and it looks like a professional card table now...green felt is traditional for that right?...
Love,

hey - yeah, green felt is traditional....this is closer to green "jersey" material. the function is to keep the cards from sliding too quickly across the table. it works great!
I just found this blog and have high hopes for it to continue. Keep up the great work, its hard to find good ones. I have added to my favorites. Thank You.
