Fruity Bird Napkins
I have some cool handmade napkins from the farmer's market that I like a lot but they are more like lunch napkins, small and really only fold into squares. So I set out to make myself some dinner napkins. I spent a long time staring at all the fabric waiting for one of them to resonate with me and as soon as I pulled out this bird fabric I knew I had a winner. And it was even on sale! I then had to find a backing for the bird fabric and, what can I say, I have a thing for polka dots. I had to look up online what the dimensions of a dinner napkin are supposed to be. I found a lot of 20" square napkins but when I cut that size it felt too big to me. So I cut it down to my own liking and ended up with something around 17" square. First I sewed them together inside then flipped them and did the visible stitching. And Ta Da! I love it! I started by making 4 but have plans to make more.
