Oh, I'm so sorry, you're glass is sweating! It is horribly hot today. Here, have a cocktail napkin.
What's that? Why yes, I did make them, thank you for noticing!
Oh, it was quite easy. I could show you if you wanted.
Really? Okay then, let's!
For each napkin you will need
- two 4.5" squares of fabric, either the same print or two complimentary patterns
- 20" of rick rack
- a good stiff cocktail (I find a vodka tonic works well)
- Cut the rick rack into four 5" pieces and lay them out on each side of one of your fabric squares, right side up. How close it is to the edge depends on how wide your rick rack is. Mine was the regular size and I lined it up with the raw edge of the fabric. If your's is jumbo it may have to overlap the edge.
- Lay your other square on top, right side down and pin together, making sure to catch the rick rack with your pin. I only pinned the corners but you can do more if you like.
- Sew a 1/4" seam around all four sides, leaving a 3" gap on one for turning.
- Trim the corners and turn right side out. Poke out the corners and press. Sew a seam close to the edge of the fabric all the way around the napkin, closing the gap.
- Have a drink and admire your work.
- Optional: Make a drink for a friend and ask him/her to admire your work.
