What you will Need: How to Make Holiday cloth napkins
Step 1: Cut the Fabrics
This tutorial demonstrates how to make an 18″ square napkin. Determine how many napkins you would like to make and cut that number of 21″ squares for the front. For the back cut the number of napkins you would like in 17 1/2″ squares.
Step 2: Fold over the raw edges
Fold the front fabric raw edges over by 1/2″. Press. Fold again by 1″ and press.
Step 3: Create the mitered corners
Start by opening the second fold. Measure 2″ from each corner and make a mark. Draw a line connecting the marks at each corner. Fold the corners in half diagonally with wrong sides out. Line up the two marks and pin.
Step 4: Stitch the miters
Stitch the line to each edge and backstitch at the start and end of the line. Cut off the excess leaving a 1/4″ seam allowance. Repeat for all corners.
Step 5: Add the back fabric
Turn the front fabric miters right side out. Tuck the fabric into the miters so that the wrong sides are together. Pin or clip the fabrics together. Topstitch all the way around the napkin using a 1/8″ seam allowance. After the top stitching you have completed your holiday cloth napkins.
