My mom moved to start graduate school and celebrated her birthday in August, and I had a super idea for a birthday/housewarming gift for her: cloth napkins! I got the idea from napkins my sister-in-law made when she first got her embroidery machine. The designs are from
urbanthreads.com. I used the fancy embroidery machine that Robert's grandma sent me last spring, and they turned out super well. I bought off-white home-dec weight fabric, cut 19" squares, embroidered the designs (four of each design) in one corner of each square, and used
this tutorial from Sew Bon to do a narrow mitered corner hem. Of course I didn't start the project until a week or so before my mom's birthday and it took way longer than I thought it would, so I didn't get them finished and mailed until half way through September, but of course my mom loved them anyway!
