  • Publication number: 20170347817
    Abstract: A reusable fabric indoor or outdoor adjustable tablecloth with drawstring sewn into the hem of the tablecloth to secure the tablecloth around the edge of the tabletop to prevent the tablecloth from blowing away in the wind or pulled off the table by children. The adjustable tablecloth with drawstring includes a grommet pressed into the fabric at a pre-cut opening to protect the fabric from wear and tear. The drawstring passes through the grommet into a cinch which secures the drawstring from slippage. Each end of the exposed drawstring is sealed with glue and secured by an independent knot. The tablecloth is placed over the table and the drawstring pulled tightly through the cinch resulting in the drawstring grabbing the underbelly of the table and tightening securely. This configuration allows the tablecloth to be adjustable, fitting a variety of table sizes and shapes, and protecting the event from the wind.
