I’ve had the sewing machine out again to work on another set of napkins. This morning I’m cutting out pieces for matching place mats as well. The napkins are just a single piece of 16" square fabric with satin stitch along the edges but the place mats will have a muslin backing. I’m beginning to eye the navy narrow-wale corduroy as potential table linen makings as well.
And yet more napkins

I want a new sewing machine. I love my ooooold Singer (circa early 1950′s), but it only does a straight stitch, and I would love to have zigzag, satin stitch, etc.
I think narrow-wale corduroy (also called pincord, right?) would make a great placemat backing, esp for everyday use.

Those look so nice.
