small sewing project

One good use of a damaged tablecloth is to make cloth napkins out of it.  We had a vintage cotton table cloth purchased from a consignment store which I had thought we could use for a baptismal gown.  Well, it was a dismal-baptismal choice for sure, as light sheer fabric is the really the only option.  However, there was enough material leftover to make 8 large cloth napkins!  So all is not lost!

This is a fun option since a) cloth napkins are so expensive and b) when you can find them at thrift stores they are usually a polyester blend, skimpy in size, and a dreadful color.
