1
teal fabric. Fold and
press all four sides 0.25” towards the wrong side of the fabric twice to hide the raw edges. Unfold the sides. 2Fold the corner points in twice,
so that the edge of the fold touches the second fold line made in step 1. 3This will hide the raw corners.
Press firmly, then fold the sides
in again. Sew all the way around to secure the hems. Repeat to create three more napkins.
Napkin 1ring
Cut two 3” x 6.5” pieces of pink fabric.
Fold a 4” length of ribbon in half and place on top of one of the fabric pieces, with the raw edges of the ribbon lined up with a short edge of the fabric. Pin in place. Position the other piece of fabric on top, lining up the edges with wrong 2sides together.
Sew all the way around the napkin
ring, leaving a gap on one side. Turn through the gap then top stitch closed. Roll the napkin ring up and locate a good position for a button to hold it closed. Sew on the button. Repeat to create three more napkin rings.
1Coaster
Cut four circles with
a diameter 1.5” wider
than the base of your wine
glass. Fold two of the circles in half with 2wrong sides together, and then press.
Place one of the unfolded circles
right side up, then position the folded circles on top, with the folds 3in the middle and the curves lined up.
Place the other unfolded circle on
top, right side down. Stitch all the way around, leaving a gap. Turn through the gap and top stitch all the way around to close the gap. Repeat to create three more coasters.
