N is for Napkins

Cloth napkins are cute & easy to make!
Supplies:
-21” fabric square
-liquid fray preventative
-paper-backed fusible web
-clear nylon thread
-embroidery floss
-buttons
-rickrack

Press the edges of the fabric square the wrong way twice then hem. You have the basic napkin shape!
Now for the fun part . .




You can line with rickrack- pin near the edges and trim the ends- sew using nylon thread. Apply fray preventative to the rickrack ends. If you are adding a fabric scrap shape or design use iron fusible web to the back . . .this is great to use when a project is going to be washed a lot.
You can use buttons for eyes & different types of stiching~ you can get creative with these!



I will see you tomorrow for O!
OOOOOhhhh yeah, I will also be posting a giveaway tomorrow as well. If you like different patterns of fabric be sure to come back:)
