    Handmade napkins

    My boyfriend and I have been talking about cutting down on our paper waste by buying fabric napkins. We hadn't gotten around to it yet, luckily, when I looked at my fabric stash. Hey! The perfect source for fabric napkins that I know I'll like!

    So this weekend, with football playing in the background, I was busy at the sewing machine making my napkins. I cut the fabric for each napkin to 18 inches square. I worked on opposite sides first, pressing a 1/4-inch hem, folding a pressing a second 1/4-inch hem, and then sewing the hems down on the two sides. I repeated the process for the remaining opposite sides.

    I made just two napkins of each pattern, since it's just the two of us. That way, too, I didn't get bored while I was making them.

    Hope you had a fun and/or productive weekend, too!

    Until next time,

    Christine

    This is a great post. Not only is this project quick and easy it helps our environment! I love the red fabric next to your plates which are also gorgeous!
