I have really had a thing for linen this year…I scarred the French flea markets for some proper linen tea towels and was recently on the hunt for some linen napkins for Christmas. In my quest for this little extra for my table I was reminded about the real draw of being hospitable and keeping the focus on the people and not the place settings!
See the little quote I found on Pinterest at the bottom!
I remembered I had some of this light grey linen at the bottom of one of my drawers and decided to give it a go myself.
It is such a simple afternoons work and I was so pleased with my napkins at the end, so a winner all round!
I cut the napkins to the size 17″ by 21″
Begin by folding over the top and bottom edges by 3/4 inch and then a full inch and press.
Sew along this edge.
For the other 2 edges begin by folding the corners diagonally and then over once more to match up the seams and make them really neat.
Sew along each of these edges.

Finish by knotting and cutting all your ends.
And that’s it….now only 7 more to go!
