The print is so rich. I have used cloth ones for two decades, thanks to the influence of a friend and former business partner, and so glad my kiddos grew up with that ethic.

What is it about sewing? I'll always be a knitter first, but lately, I've really been enjoying quiet time spent at my sewing machine. Is it the instant gratification of simple projects? The gorgeous fabrics that are on the market now? Memories of learning to sew as a child? Your napkins are lovely---too pretty to use. I have been making zipper pouches like nobody’s business.

Enjoy them! Aside from the logical, cloth napkins are a simple, satisfying way to wrap oneself in a little hug of comfort & beauty in an ordinary day. I have made napkins to suit all seasons and decor and are a quick and lovely gift as well. I especially like to make Christmas-print cocktail-size napkins for gifts. Also, I'll make napkins to match the new decor for a housewarming gift. They are much appreciated! I find the rolled hem cloths are pretty sturdy in the washer and dryer. I put a dot of 'Fray Check' on each corner for good measure. Haven't had any fall apart over twenty-some years. Carole dear…NOT too pretty to use! Enjoy them!

Although I don't make mine :), I love using cloth napkins, it feels much more civilized and elegant somehow. That’s wonderful!
