Cloth Napkins
--Sandi Voeltz, Sandi's Sewing Corner
I started making cloth napkins about ten years ago. I like the way they feel, and I like not wasting paper napkins - to save trees. For napkins you could also use: bandanas, fingertip towels or kitchen hand towels.
To make napkins from material:
- Cut squared of desired size (anywhere from 12"-22")
- Press in double 1/4" hems (fabric folded over 1/4" is a hem) on 2 opposite sides, and sew them with a straight stitch.
- Press in the remaining 2 sides 1/4" and sew
- Enjoy...and reuse over and over. Wash with your normal laundry.
