I shared these cloth napkins as a guest post last Christmas but then ran of of time to repost them here. But I still love them and they would also make easy and great gifts for others!
Here is what you need to do:
And you are done!!!!
Cloth Napkin Tutorial with self-mitered corners
I love the way these napkins are put together… simple and beautiful. Love the embroidery in the corner too. =)
these are beautiful! I made some napkins the other day and they are very addictive! 🙂 These are much prettier than the ones I made, but I love mine too since my son printed them! :
This seems easy enough but I have one question. For Step 5 you say leave a 1/4 square at the corner but in the pictures it looks like you sewed right around the whole perimeter. Do I sew to almost the corner then cut my thread and start from almost the corner on the other side? Or do I just sew right around? Sorry!!! I guess I am mitered corner challenged 🙂
This hurt my brain for a minute. I shouldn’t read sewing tutorials before 9 on a Saturday. Can’t wait to give it a go!
These are gorgeous! Thanks for the tutorial …. you make it look so easy.
If you use a 1/4 inch seam (or quilting foot) then you can just sew all the way around the perimeter.
It hurt my brain the first time I made a baby blanket with this method, I couldn’t figure out if it was really going to work….but I promise it’s easy and I love the mitered corners!
Thank you 🙂
This is amazing. Your website is inpiring me to do more sewing but I never ventured into quilting, dress making and napkin making! Would love to do this but I have questions: do you pre-wash before you cut the fabrics? How does this hold when you wash them after use? Can this go in regular laundry?
Yes, I would preshrink your fabric…and they hold up great in the wash. Sometimes I need to iron them if I don’t pull them out of the dryer right away…but they are great!
