Another project from:
In these tough economic times, there ain’t nuthin wrong with a homemade present, as long as it’s not a tea cozy. For the holidays this year I made for a few of my girlfriends reversible dinner napkins. Using funky fabrics and a simple design I sewed sets of four. Not only do the napkins look darling on the table, but using them instead of paper disposables saves a few trees here and there.
The napkins are easy enough to make, it’s just a square afterall. But believe it or not each set of four takes me a couple of hours, what with all the ironing, measuring, cutting, sewing, ironing again….you get the idea. So even though I had hopes of making 8 sets or more to give away, I only ended up with 4. As I always say, having a job really gets in the way of my hobbies. Next year I’ll have to start sewing my presents in September.
