This is an easy sewing project that will add a nice, decorative element to your tabletop. We'll show you how to pattern the top plate, how to create and sew the boxing, and how to staple the vinyl cover to the tabletop. As a finishing touch, we'll add a decorative topstitch in a complementary color thread, which gives our project a beautiful, polished look.
We're using an indoor/outdoor, engineered synthetic leather to give our vinyl table covers the best in performance and style. Choosing a vinyl with four-way stretch properties, such as EverSoft™, enabled us to get a very tight-fitting tabletop cover with no wrinkles or sagging. Vinyl is a great choice for a tabletop; spills and stains wipe up quickly and easily from this waterproof fabric. With top-notch brands, unique patterns and dozens of colors to choose from, you're sure to find a vinyl fabric that fits your décor at Sailrite®.
