self binding napkins
 

We've had a great crop of new babies in the past year, so I've been making self binding receiving blankets like a factory. I had some metallic marble that I bought as a remnant and had the probably not very original idea to use the same process for table napkins. I put the metallic with a mottled black and turned out four napkins in no time. Family members may get tired of these soonl

Any pics you can post? I would be interested to see how those are working out.

Oh that sounds great. put a photo in Photos please. Would love to see some of them.

Sorry no pics of the first ones. Gave them to my daughter yesterday. I will post pics of the next batch. I will tell you that I started with a 20" and 15" square.

Ha, ha. I think we can wait. ...... waiting.

Still waiting, no pressure.....hehehe

Yup....we are still waiting!! LOL .....waiting patiently........

I'm not understanding "self binding" at all. Are you sewing right sides together, leaving a open spot and turning right sides out? I hate and despise the term "birthing" but is that what you are doing?

Just looked up a tut on self binding. Quite interesting. Will have to try it.

I looked up self binding blankets. Here is the site - www.pieceandquilt.com. Great directions as well as pictures. I've been looking for something easy to make for an auction at my husband's men's club Christmas party and the napkins fit the bill. I've got tons of Christmas fabric that I can use up.
