I have had this table cloth for over twenty years. It was something that came in my sales kit that was rarely used. Lately I have made a conscious effort to try and cut back my use of Kleenexes by using hankies. I had some that were my grandmothers that I have been using, but I only had a few of them. Instead of buying more I decided to see what I already had that would work to make my own. This table cloth was the first idea that came to my mind. Once I got it out and started looking at it I realized it would make some really nice cloth napkins instead.
I used my square guides to cut out the material. I used a 12x12 and for the napkins and a smaller one for the hankies. The material without print was used for the cloth napkins. These ended up being a Christmas present for my mom, which turned out great. The part of material that contained print I made hankies out of. They are just the right weight and softness. Now to add to my hankie collection to cut back on purchasing Kleenexes even more!
I used my serger to finish the edges.
For the napkins I used 4 threads, and for the hankies 3.
