*Sigh* I must be crazy... earlier this year I bought what I thought to be a suitable spreadcloth: a red and gold chinese brocade cloth used for decorative covering for something like a stand, nightable, small table, etc. It was quite lovely and it was on sale too.
Yesterday, I was stopping by this fabric store on my lunchbreak to take a look at their trimmings (I needed a thinner draw cord for a tarot card bag.), and I saw that they had chinese brocades a few bucks off the original price. OMG. They were beautiful. Today I went back and bought a yd. of a blue brocade woven with silver metallic thread... and I may go back again for a few others... unless I choose to show restraint.
The thing is, I DON'T EVEN USE SPREADCLOTH! Sure, I bought the 1st one for use at my job, because sometimes when I go to the breakroom during the break some of the tables are filthy from breakfast or lunch. But I don't even use it!
I know I don't need all that... but the side of me that wants to do something creative with fabric isn't listening to all that. Damn.
As the title of this thread implies: do I really need a spreadcloth?
And out of curiosity, do any of you use spreadcloths? If so, did you buy yours already finished (you know like from a Tarot specialty store)? Or did you buy fabric and embellish it yourselves?
