I found this beautiful fabric on sale at Target. This table cloth measuring 60”X84” was marked at $9.00 but was on sale for $6.95! I had to buy it!

As soon as I saw this bright lemon fabric I knew exactly what to make with it. I have been following Grosgrain: Free Pattern Month and on day 21 Native from verypurpleperson shared the Scallop Hat Tutorial.
