Then you could tuck the extra in and fasten the hairband around the button, maybe?

Hmmmm....How on earth can that top not come off???? Hmmmm. I would lay the top on the ground - underside to the ground - and lay the stool down on top of it. Then fold the corners up to square it off while pinning it square. Sew along the pins and then it becomes a box to place over the top. It would be an easy fix.Needled Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749314475716010490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-78564118366713195182013-11-11T07:43:07.279-06:002013-11-11T07:43:07.279-06:00What a nice story!

You could just sew a tassel to each corner so the weight would hold them down. Or, my favorite, would be to sew a girl's hair tie to each corner and then slip a stool leg through each one. Doable?

I hope this one will. I love the fabric and the quilting. You could fit the corners by taking out the extra fabric and making a curved seam to fit the corners. I think that would look nice.
