Cloth Napkins
Little by little I’m making all of the things that’ll make this apartment feel like home to me. Saturday night (yes, I am a dork), I made six cloth napkins to complement our placemats. They are the simplest sewing project ever. I just cut them to size (about 15″ by 18″) then pressed each edge under twice. First, I pressed a .5″ hem, then folded half of that under for the second pressing. After that, all that’s left is to stitch around all of the edges. Voila! No more paper napkin waste. I might be a little eco-crazy, but at least I’m in good company here in Bozeman. We actually got 15 cents back for using our own bags at the grocery store. Yay!
