I just finished the last of my handmade Christmas gifts. Yea me! I made 6 sets of everyday napkins. So, let’s see… about 80 napkins. Phew, no wonder I’m only now getting done. As far as sewing projects go these were a blast to make. I was able to use a lot of fabric on hand, much of it vintage. The sewing was straight line stitching and completely uncomplicated. And I absolutely love how they turned out. Wonder how long it will take me to mail them?

I need to make more of everyday napkins. These look great – I especially like the top photo.
Beautiful work! I love the visual of all the lovely vintage fabrics together. Yay you, especially for making a dent in the fabric stash!

Good grief? 80? I’m impressed
Wow. I love that vintage fabric. I always buy mine but I really should just sew them. You have inspired me. =]
that is some serious eye candy jackie!!
p.s. way to go!! that is quite a feat!
LOVING the crazy vintage prints! I am also incredibly impresses with the stamina, chicka! I can’t even muster the gumption to make my cats Christmas present: a catnip flop blanket! Wish me luck before next Christmas!
PS: I was so relieved to see a friendly blog in my email box! I am so glad you posted! Namaste, baby!
Oh those fabrics are gorgeous! You are so much nicer than me…I would be hiding them all away for me to use…ha ha!
Those are so pretty!!! Love every set, do you need my address? Jk. But, seriously, those are really great and would be a cheerful addition to anyone’s table.
80? …as in eighty????
You are a wonder. I made a few several months ago, but quit after 7 or 8. This will inspire me to get back at it. Well, when I can get to my sewing machine.
Love the fabric.
ooooooh.
this has been on my “to do” list for evaaaaaaah.
I caved at Thanksgiving and bought 13 bandanas, in groovy fall tones.
why yesss, they did look just fine enough with my minimalist china, thanks for asking.
but they are lame. and made by someone in China I’m sure. not by me. from my stash.
my life must have some everyday napkins.
someday.
p.s. you & your 80 napkins are awesome.
Yay for cloth napkins! I adore the plaid ones…
