I was thinking that also...I just bought a new sewing machine...and there are quite a few pretty decorative stitches. I was thinking of making some pretty napkins for the thanksgiving. I am having about 20 people, and buying napkins is very expensive. Much less expensive to make them. Even if I make good size napkins....about 18 inches....I can get about 6 per yard of fabric. So for 20 napkins...what is that about 4 yards of fabric. Now I just need to find a nice fabric. woohoo

btw.....one recommendation I would make....learned this from experience....is make sure you wash the fabric first before making them....that way any shrinking won't affect your finished napkin. Also, you'll get an idea about how well your napkins are going to wash after use.
