Dinner Napkins - Everyone Else is Doing It

Hmm...that sounds bad.

Anyway, what is it about Fall that makes me want to sew napkins. Last year I sewed 24 napkins; 12 for Thanksgiving and 12 for Christmas. I don't get it. But they are so easy to make and really very useful. I find that my girls are more likely to actually get excited about using the napkins and stop wiping their fingers on their shirts. Paper napkins are one of those things that I really dislike spending money on.

So you remember how I made napkins with the girls last week? Well, I figured we needed a whole matching set. So I made 6 more (10 total), only this time I appliqued these cute flowers on them. Maybe I should start selling napkins in my poor neglected Etsy shop...whose URL I don't even remember anymore. How sad is that?


You ladies are going to have to step up the crafty production, ya know because Johanna is about to have a baby and I AM MOVING!!!!! We should close on our GIGANTIC house next week and then we have until the end of this month to move out of this apartment. Which means my poor sewing machine is going to be lonely for a while.

Jo, those are beautiful! I really, really like them! Napkins on Etsy sounds good. Did you ever really put the dress on Etsy and if so, did it sell?

I like those a lot! I think they would be a great item to put into your etsy shop.
