Need funky vinyl table cloth any ideas were from ?

[melsy]

Kitchens lilac, purple and beech with wenge blinds. After a painting session with dd1 and newspaper sticking to it all over it today I think its time to get one!!!

A few in cheapy shop in Finchley, lots and lots in Walthamstow. We've got one with various breads and pastries on!

We have a couple of local fabric/sewing type shops that sell it by the metre. It might be worth trying any that are near you.

I remember someone on here posting a link to a company that did it in all sorts of colours and designs though -you could try searching the archives and see if you can find the link? Sorry I can't be more helpful but I can't remeber any details of the thread.

If you got money to burn have a look here
beautiful, beautiful stuff...sigh!

Otherwise John Lewis do Vinyl cloth off the roll and so do Dunelm. HTH.

john lewis have a huge selection in material dept. on rolls .. they cut to size

oh yerrr good ole JLP

don't skimp like we did and buy vinyl and not oilcloth. Stains terribly.

Some funky stuff here .

And more here and elsewhere on this site. I like the photographic 'fruity' and 'icecream' ones.

good website jackie, how do I know if theyre oiled ones ?? good tip fartmeistergeneral.

dunelm mill! cheap and good selection too.

we have mexican oilcloth from vivalafrida for best and some crappy old vinyl for painting/sticking.

Have John Lewis sold me vinyl then? It has stained with any tomtao based sauces which is a pain. Would those lovely Cath Kidston ones not stain then.... please say they won't and then I can justify that spotty one...

The John Lewis stuff is great & very good value. I have 2 of the same - one that can be kept for in-laws visiting!!!

I bought mine off ebay & now I find out I should have bought the oilcloth version! I used the tablecloth co and they were v.good, sent samples the next day. They do some cath kidston designs too. Highly recommend them.

you can tell them apart cos vinyl's completely smooth, but the oilcloth has a definite woven texture to it. our oilcloth's shrugged off everything that's been chucked at it, the vinyl's stained horribly.

found a design on there I like accessorizequeen , but not big enough. Im a complete ebay novice, how do i order/bid a bigger size????

I'd just email the seller and ask them if they can do a bigger size for you - they were v.helpful. Expect they're just cutting off a roll, so a bigger one shouldn't be a problem (although you must have a v.big table as mine was huge!). There should be a contact the seller link next to the item?

Oh I so need this thread ! This is why my tablecloth stains badly, it must be vinyl - I just couldn't work out why my friend's one is fine and mine isn't. So do the Cath Kidston ones definitely repel everything chucked at them ?

i got mine here on ebay

oh sorry, snap accessorizequeen

I get mine from a fabric market stall, they are great for protecting tables. Usually pay about 12.00
