Head over to The Purl Bee to find out how to make a set of cloth napkins. They’re made from linen, with a layer of cotton on the back that wraps around and binds the edges. Lovely! Go to the tutorial.

Just wondering – when I read that these napkins were trimmed in bias, I had to check it out. But when I got to the purl bee website – she mentions that the napkins are actually two squares of fabric, one smaller than the other, with the larger piece folded over the smaller one to become the trim. It is not obvious from the photos, , but I believe that the back of the napkins is a solid color.
Oh, goodness, you’re right! I saw the topstitching on the back and assumed that was where bias tape was attached. I’ve edited the post to correctly describe the project. On the other hand, bias tape would make a nice finish for the edges of napkins. 🙂 –Anne
