    My daughter has asked for a bunch of napkins for a wedding present. I used to serge my napkins, but I have been practicing with the rolled hem attachment on my sewing machine. That's the way I will be making hers. She wants a variety of sets in various prints - Christmas, summer, western theme, and anything else I can think of. ��

    My niece bought men's linen white handkerchiefs wholesale to use for her wedding napkins. She got 150 handkerchiefs for $40 online at a warehouse outlet. She gave me the leftovers to do something with. They were very nice. I donated them to another wedding at church.

    If I was gonna make em, I'd use the self binding trick, just like the self binding receiving blankets, just smaller!
