Amazon.com Review

Filled with lots of ideas for creative napkin presentation to liven your table, this attractive book also offers ideas on how to use napkins as inventive gift wrap and as wonderful accents around the home, such as pillow shams, seat covers, valances, lampshade covers, and table drapes. Clear step-by-step directions and diagrams explain a wide variety of ways to make your own lovely cloth napkins, from simple no-sew techniques (fringed, fused, or pinked edges) to "mistake-proof" machine-sewn methods (including lined napkins, topstitched or decorative-stitched hems, and no-measure miters) to easy serging techniques, plus there are suggestions on ready-made items that make great napkins (such as bandannas, scarves, and hand towels) and on ways to embellish them further (fused appliques, fabric paint).

This review is from: Quick Napkin Creations (Hardcover)

I owned a copy of Original Napkin Creations, when I was actively sewing some 12 years ago or more. Recently I dusted off my serger and have begun using it again. I was very pleased when I was able to buy a copy of Original Napkin Creations through Amazon. It has great tips for nonsewed napkins, serged napkins and regular sewn napkins, plus folding tips for decorating one's table.
