ok i'll try and draw the diameter measurents

ok first we have 3 ft diameter or 36 inches

o representing the center of the table

// representing edges measuring to

<> and are arrows pointing to //

/<---18"---->o<----18"---->/

Now we nees 5 inches overhang

/<--5"-->/<----18"--> o <--18"-->/<---5"-->/

Now we need an extra inch to sew under the 5 inches

/<-1"->/<--5"-->/<--18"--> o <--18"-->/<---5"--->/<-1"->/

Add 1+5+18+18+5+1 = 48
