So, this table setting?
I was inspired by Dottie Angel,
when I saw this photo on Pinterest.
This project could not have been easier.
I used old sweaters.
It took me one hour
(mom time - that means constant interruptions, right?)
to make 9 jar sweaters.
I literally cut the cuffs off of sweaters, & slipped them over jars.
I know not everyone has white sweaters,
or lace sleeved sweaters that they have been saving in the closet for
10 years for a time such as this. (Maybe not quite that long - 8-6 years...)
You could look at the thrift store. Or not.
Half of the jars just have a piece of stretch lace sewn around them.
That you can do, even if you didn't save a sweater to sew on your jars.
You could also use doilies.
Or cool old lace tablecloths.
Just cut the strip to fit the jar,
a lot like you would cut a piece of wrapping paper. -
a bit of extra on all sides.
When you sew up the side to join the lace around the glass,
make broad stitches to take in a good amount of lace.
With a loose, open lace, you'll need a good amount of it in
each stitch, so you don't pull on one spot too much.
(I don't know if that made any sense.
But, I don't take good enough photos to do a photo tutorial.)

This is the kind of thing I see and then say, "Why didn't I think of that?"
I absolutely love mason jars and since I don't have any lacy white sweaters around, I'll keep that on my list the next time I am at the thrift store.
And I am loving your Dinner at Eight. Keep it up, even though it can be hard. Your marriage is worth it. :-)
Great idea and so easy!
We are hosting a link party called “Help a Momma Out” every Tuesday! This would be an awesome link up! I would appreciate if you'd add it. Thanks in advance for your consideration :)
