Use this tablecloth to host a festive Thanksgiving feast, or for any other family gathering where you want a welcoming, inviting place to gather and celebrate with your loved ones. This hemmed cotton tablecloth features muted reds, oranges and yellows that complement each other perfectly for an autumnal look.

To make your own round tablecloth, start with a piece of fabric the desired diameter plus twice as long, and add 1 inch for the hem. To determine the hem allowance, fold the fabric in half to form a half-circle and cut along the fold. Repeat the process with a smaller circle until you have a full circle of fabric.

You'll also need a rotary cutter, sewing machine and ironing board. If you're using a natural fiber such as cotton or linen, it's important to prepare the hem by ironing it all the way around before sewing it on.

Another option is to purchase a pre-made round tablecloth from your local retailer or online. These tablecloths can be made of a variety of fabrics, including linen and cotton-polyester blends.

If you'd prefer a more unique tablecloth, consider using tulle or a roll of craft or chalkboard paper. These alternatives come in a wide range of colors, patterns and textures and are easy to clean.

Tulle is a soft, thin material that looks lovely on both round and rectangular tables. It is perfect for a bridal shower or other special occasion, and can be made into a table runner as well.

Lace is another alternative that would look gorgeous on a wooden or other natural table. It can be layered over a white cloth for a more farmhouse style, or worn as a single tablecloth to match your overall color scheme.

A blanket is an interesting alternative to a tablecloth, especially if you're hosting a pool party or beach-themed gathering. Blankets are lightweight, absorbent and usually have fun patterns that will match the theme of your event.

The downside is that a blanket can tear easily. However, if you're willing to be extra careful about cleaning, this is a great alternative for any occasion.

Depending on the size of your table, you might need several widths of fabric to cover it. If so, you can buy several pieces of different widths at a craft store or a fabric shop.

You'll need a measuring tape, scissors or a rotary cutter, a mat, a quilter's pencil and thread to complete the project. You'll also need a tablecloth topper or runner that will be used as a template for the tablecloth.

To begin, you'll need to fold a length of string that is half the width measurement of the tablecloth, plus double the desired drop. Tie the string to one end of the tablecloth and a quilter's pencil to the other, and measure from the fold point to the other end of the fabric. Once you've got the arc, mark it on the fabric by folding it in quarters and marking an arc with the quilter's pencil before cutting it.
