Quick Napkin Creations Making and Creating with Napkins

Eighteen striking, innovative designs for easy-to-sew, no-sew and serged napkins to give any table pizzazz. These projects will help you make a personalized entertainment statement.

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).
