12 Crafts of Christmas: Day 04 - Table Napkins

Christmas dinner is a big family occasion, and these napkins are really easy to make! They will add a hint of fun or glamour to your table (depending upon which fabric you choose) and can be folded into shapes, to hold cutlery or to fit wine glasses.

You will need:

Squares of fabric 50cm x 50cm
Sewing machine 
Iron and ironing board

Method: 

Cut out your fabric pieces to the right size, wash and iron. 

Fold and press 0.5cm around each edge, then fold, press and pin another 0.5cm to create a straight, neat edge. Take care to tuck the fabric nicely at the corners to avoid it sticking out. 

Choosing a thread for your sewing machine bobbin that matches your fabric (or contrasts if you would like), sew along the middle of your folded edges, all the way around. 

Iron your finished napkin and it is ready to use!
