Liberty Picnic: Napkins

Cut Fabric

• Cut each of the Liberty Fat-Quarters into 17-inch x 17-inch squares
• Cut ten 17-inch x 17-inch squares from the white Kona Cotton

(For help cutting check out my Rotary Cutting Tutorial.)

 

Pin + Sew Fabrics

• Pin each Liberty piece to a Kona Cotton piece with the right sides facing, leave a spot for a 3-inch opening along one side for turning the napkin right-side out when you're done sewing.
• Sew a 1/2-inch seam all the way around, remember to leave a 3-inch opening along one side. Back stitch at the beginning and end of each seam.
  

Finish Napkin

• Snip off the corners approximately 1/8-inch from the seam.
• Turn the napkin right-side out through the 3-inch opening. Make sure the corners are nice and pointy (a knitting needle works well for this, just be careful not to poke it through the fabric!).
• Tuck the seams of the 3-inch opening neatly inside the napkin and press carefully. This will make closing it in the next step a breeze.

Psst, Molly, you mean RIGHT sides facing, correct? Since you'll be turning it right side out after you sew?
