...aka 6 napkins.
My mother in law gave me this fabric for Christmas, suggesting napkins would be nice.
The fabric really is lovely. I don't know what it is, but it is thicker and softer than any other quilting cotton I have used before. A non-white napkin should also make sense for every day dining, showing less marks and laundering easily.
Taking the hint that our table manners need some work, I ate my pride and made the napkins (geddit?). I did sneak a little bit of fabric for a top secret project, so I only had enough for six rectangular napkins. The 1.2m gave me napkin dimensions of 46 x 37cm
My corners are not perfect, but I did try hard to get them nice. There was way more ironing than sewing in this project. But once I got into a rhythm, they were pretty quick.
They look lovely with my Moda fabric tablecloth.
Here's to elegant family meals.
