My daughter’s second sewing project was making cloth napkins. I love them. They are a very cute pattern and you could have all kinds of fun choosing different materials for making them.
My daughter enjoyed making them and we are enjoying using them!
These are the napkins ironed and folded…
and this is what they look like when they are unfolded…
Is that cool or what?! Love the pattern and the reversibility and the fun options for fabric choices!
I have a book with different ways to fold cloth napkins using regular rectangle napkins. There are some neat folds in it. I haven’t used it for quite awhile. I thought I would take time for some of the stuff again when I didn’t have toddlers anymore… hmmm.. we are well beyond the toddler stage…
On another note, it was interesting to find a place to take pictures of my girl and her napkins. Everything seems to be rather of a chaotic mess. We’ve moved some shelves over to the other house, so I have some piles of stuff off of the shelves. I have more piles of other stuff as a result of being in and out all the time and just piling instead of putting away! My husband remarked last night that we were either going to have to do some cleaning in this house or move!! I know what he’s sayin’! Clutter gets on my nerves. You wouldn’t believe that if you could see the way my house looks, all too often!
Tonight I get to have a girl’s night out with three of my favorite friends! I’m excited about this. We manage to do this a couple times a year and it’s always a good time involving friendship, food, and fun. And laughter-just a little! It sounds nice to spend a few hours with girlfriends and not think about messy houses and house projects. My dear husband gets to spend the evening with his kiddos. Yay for him!
What exciting project or plans do you have happening?

Yay for girls’ night out! Have fun! Those are neat napkins. Would love to see the “chaotic mess” right now. Are you close to moving?

Great napkins – both in color and style!
No big plans here – dinner with the family and probably a movie!

I love family evenings, too!
