Tutorial: Tablecloth and sheer overlay set

Sew4Home shows how you can make a tablecloth with a matching sheer overlay. The sheer overlay would be gorgeous for a winter holiday tablescape, especially if you use a sheer fabric with a snowflake-y design on it. And when you want a more understated table setting, just leave off the sheer overlay and use just the tablecloth. You can make them to fit any size table. Their tutorial includes how to measure a small square table and a larger rectangle table.
