I was wondering when wed get to the napkins.
Now, you cant just fold your scraps in two and call it a napkin.
It requires more fitness and sewing thanthat.
Youll need pretty edges: curved, folded, or just crisp and cut.
Why not add a pretty lace trim along the sides?
you could either use what you already have or buy a roll of French bobbin lacehere.

Again, patchwork is as wholesome as it gets, and you cant convince me otherwise.
These patchwork buckets with sturdy leather handles will be perfect for storing your skeins of yarn and crochet hooks.

Time to pull out your fabric twine again.
Also, do you know how to braid?
Just the regular, three-strand plait will do, but youll definitely need it for this project.

it’s possible for you to find them righthere.
Fabric Bowl Covers
Credit: hearthandvine.com
Wow, arent these covers pretty as pie?
But could you cover a pie dish with them, I wonder?
I think these elastic covers would look great over your bowls and cups.
However, I wouldnt use them to cover a hot bowl of pasta.
For the simple reason that the order would permeate and the fabric would wilt and dampen over the heat.
No, these look like something youd buy at a store, with that Celtic knot design up top.
Remember to choose the right kind of fabric, depending on the occasion you need them for.
Going to the gym?
Youll need a material that would absorb sweat.
Out for a day of fun?
Something light and cotton, preferably with pops of color to make it stand out.
So remember to use some heat-resistant and robust fabric when rolling your twine for this project.
Youll want something padded and tough but not lumpy either.
Speaking of tough, youll also need some strong threadperhaps denim thread, likethis to sew your trivet together.
Just remember to wash it and then dry it before placing it back in the case.

Thats a scented sachet.

Why not a warmer weight that is scented?

I just know it.
