I recently bought a package of cloth napkins on the clearance rack. For some reason they are 28 inches squared. Who on earth needs a napkin that is bigger than 2 feet on any side? Did the makers think someone was going to a luau and planning to eat the whole pig?
Okay, so I decided to make one into an apron. Actually, one side of an apron. I simply used an old apron to mark and cut the armholes.
Then I cut off all the selvedges. You'll see why in a future post. I took a piece of scrap fabric, cut it to fit the top 1/3 of the apron and sewed it on--wrong sides together. I'm binding this, not turning it inside out.
The apron is almost finished but I will post a picture or two at a time.
That's a good idea...and generally cloth napkins are made from linen and nice and thick...I admire people who sew. There's so much you can do! Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting about my boy, Gizzy! He's the love of my small life ;-)
