Sewing project #1 = Complete! (PIP)

Well some of them are pretty wonky but I finished 30 cloth napkins.  I think it was a great project to get to feel comfortable with my machine and was basic enough that I could totally handle it.

In case anyone else is interested in making some I used this tutorial: https://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/04/20/make-your-own-cloth-napkins/

I used the square corner instructions.

These are the first 14.

If anyone has any tips for cutting fabric straight, I would appreciate it!  I realize that I didn't end up doing so which caused the wonkiness since I can at least sew a straight line :-)

    Cute!  Best way to cut straight is to use a self healing mat, clear acryclic ruler and rotary cutter.  Once you use a rotary cutter, you'll never want to go back to scissors!

    Very nice!  That's a lot of napkins.  :)

    PS.  I totally owe you an email, I know.  I'm such a slacker....
