How to Cover a Tabletop in Vinyl Fabric

Vinyl upholstery fabric is waterproof, durable and easy to clean — and it looks fantastic as a side table or nightstand tabletop. Our video shows you how to sew a tight-fitting, stylish vinyl cover for your tabletop. A decorative top stitch in a complementary thread color on the vinyl cover adds a beautiful, polished look to the tabletop cover. Watch the video to get started on this easy DIY!
