Plus, I wanted it to have an extra trim at the front, to give it a smart finish, and to help it stay put… My sewing table was given to me by my dear Nan (my best friend) when she passed away, she reached the fine age of 100 years old,  I love the blue, so I also wanted to use the blue in this gorgeous
