FINALLY finished my table squares and damask runners! Woop woop!
It wasn't a particularly hard task, I just kept putting it off. I made 12 (24" by 24") squares and 2 (16" by 10') runners. I ordered my Michael Miller "Dandy Damask" fabric from Tara Ryan's Online Store. It's pretty nice fabric, good weight and holds an iron well.
If anyone is interested, I'll probably be selling these after my wedding because really, what am I gonna do with 12 table squares???
The last picture is the inspiration for what our tables will look like. Black linens, damask table square and red rose petals with candles. Can't wait to see my dream come true!!!
Was it expensive?
if you figure that each square is 25"X25" and you need 25 squares then the total length you'll need is 625" (which equals approx 53', which equals approx 18 yards). i rounded up for these calculations because you always want extras. i ordered my fabric from Tara Ryan and she was the cheapest fabric i could find that shipped to Canada. she charges $7.50/yard (USD) and $20 to ship to Canada. So your total would be $155 USD. That's pretty cheap to me considering how much it would cost to buy them off Etsy.

i would email her first to make sure she has the fabric in stock and to confirm how much it would cost to ship to you. Tara was great to deal with, super nice and quick! Let me know if you have any other questions!!!
I would really be interested in buying them, if you are still interested in selling?? Please let me know how much you selling them for ? I live in Toronto, so picking them up would not be a problem. e-mail me @ iferrante@hotmail.com
Thanks
P.S. They look great!
Thanks,
