Christmas tree napkins
While the design for these was not my idea, these dimensions and steps were. I hope you enjoy! Start by picking two contrasting fabrics that look good together. I personally like the way one light and one dark work together. I have made these three times each with different fabrics. Because they will hopefully be used as napkins, I try and stay away from very white with little pattern - in case of food stains. The busier the better. I tried to do the sewing math (top line of the picture below). I believe that it takes 1.5 yards of each fabric to make a set of eight napkins. In sewing, always start by ironing! Then cut your rectangles - should measure 20 inches by 10 inches. However many of each for each fabric. I like to make sets of 8 for a nice gift. Then with a fabric pencil trace around a semi-circle, taking up all of the space. Once you cut out the first one you can use that as a pattern. I found this was a lot easier for me. Then cut it out around the semi-circle line tha
