A
couple weeks ago I found a darling fruit basket on sale at ShopKo for
$4.99. I wanted one just like this to
keep our cloth napkins in so I was very happy when I found exactly what I was
looking for. Even more so that it was on
sale.
After
placing the napkins in the basket it looked so cute I decided it needed to be
on the shelf of our cabinet in the dining room.
It looks great sitting there too.
Do you use cloth napkins or do you prefer paper?
For
the longest time I used paper napkins but I can't say I loved them. I decided a little more than a year ago to
make my own cloth napkins and use them instead.
I definitely can say I LOVE my cloth napkins.
I
made them with fabric from my stash using up a bunch of extras pieces I
had. They are made from two pieces
stitched together so they are extra durable and absorbent. The cotton blend fabrics I used make them
easy to launder and they come out relatively wrinkle free.
I
made some using fall themed fabric which are perfect for our Thanksgiving
table, a Hawaiian print for BBQs on the deck, and calico prints for everyday
use. This year I hope to make some out
of Christmas print fabric.
Want
to make some like I did? This is how Idid it.
I love cloth napkins!! I collected about 30 of them from thrift stores and have had them in use for over 10 years! Love love love them!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty awesome. :)
DeleteI use both cloth and paper napkins. I prefer the cloth ones for dinner and family meals. I love the fabrics you used to make your cloth napkins! And the basket is absolutely perfect- what a nice display! :)
