QUESTION: Hi Vi,
From to top bottom it is 291/2 inches.. I guess it is for a round tablecloth...thanks for answering so quick
Grace

Answer
HI Grace
The simplest way is to make the top circular and then just sew a skirt around the top.  This will give a straight skirt around the table.

For this two (2) yards will be enough.  One for the top, and one for the skirt.

If this does not answer the question, just let me know
