But I have had my eye on the tutorial by Bryn Alexandra since I started blogging in January.
In the end, i didn’t follow directions very long 
…so this is my version.
I wanted more of a “buffet” in my dining room, and this chinoiserie style table my parent’s gave me was a little short, so I propped the legs up higher and decided to skirt it.
I started by measuring the width, height and depth of all sides and the top of the table. I then added 1.5″ to each measurement (to account for the hem). Next, cut out your pieces.
I copied this great diagram off of Bryn’s blogto show you the pieces you should have after cutting.
Next, fold the 2 sides of each piece over 3/4″, pin and iron. Then repeat, only hem the bottom of each piece once (3/4″) and leave the top of the fabric unfolded (this is what you attach to the fabric for the top of your table).
To make the skirt appear tailored, I laid the top piece on the top of the table and marked a line along the edge of the table. I then folded the edge of the fabric over, to touch the line, ironed and hemmed.
Now lay the top piece of your fabric right side up and line the top edge (the raw edge) of your side piece (wrong side up) of fabric up with the edge of the table top piece of fabric. Pin, sew and repeat with the 3 other side pieces.
Now your basic table skirt is finished, all that is left is to attach the corner pieces. Unfortunately, at this point I was running behind and did not take pictures. I simply attached the corner pieces to the underside of the table skirt with hemming tape.
I also attached the green grosgrain ribbon with to the edge of each side with a piece of double sided hemming tape.
love it! I'm so impressed you went for the real deal sewing version! Thanks for the shout out about my own table skirt! xoxox

Great tutorial! Yours looks perfect.
I love this look and I love that you also have some storage room underneath.
It looks so tailored and gorgeous!
i love your wall and trim colors, do you mind sharing?
You and I are definitely on the same page, Elizabeth. I've been wanting to add a skirted table to my dining room for a while now. You're tutorial makes me really think I can do it! I love how detailed you were on all of your steps. For a sewing novice like myself, I need ALL the details!
Thanks again,
Lori

Looks absolutely great!
Just another reason I need to learn to sew! I love the green at the bottom!
Looks awesome!! I love the pop of green against the coral in the rest of the room!!

What a great job you've done! I've also thought about doing this in my dining room. It's a little intimidating though! What's under the skirt? A console table?
this looks so beautiful and professional!
You did an amazing job…I just love the green trim on it. I love the modern and clean lined look of these skirts…I just might have to tackle one!
Hi Elizabeth…I think this is stunning. I might just have to see if I can do it. I'm guest hosting Open House Party Thursdays while Sherry from No Minimalist Here is on vacation. She always begins her linky party with a house tour. I was hoping I could feature your home at next week's party? Let me know if that's OK with you…and come join the party tonight. The linky is up on my blog. I'm hosting this week and for 2 more weeks. Thanks!
Amazing job! Thanks so much for the tutorial! Super helpful!
Your skirt is just gorgeous! The others are nice, but not nicer than yours and thank you for the tutorial, I will bookmark it, just in case I might need to make one in the future.
Hugs, Cindy
Very impressive ! Your tutorial is super helpful too. I am dying over the ikat and how the pattern matches up so perfectly in the center. My sewing skills are nowhere near that good. Thanks for linking up!
It looks beautiful! You have inspired me to make one for a table I was thinking about replacing. Thanks!
I love that! I've had my eye on that tutorial by byrn too but have wanted one since I saw Jenny's. I need to do this for my dining room. Thanks!
Thanks for linking up to Open House Party!
What a great blog AND a great tutorial. I enjoyed my visit.
Warmly, Michelle
I am behind, but this is fabulous! Love the way it turned out. I already have a table in mind that I want to try this on!
Hi there! Love your skirted table! Could you please share the type of fabric you used?
