This week's sewing
We like cloth napkins and were getting short on them. When I looked through my fabric scraps, I found this tablecloth checked remnants. There were 2 pieces of the blue that were big enough to cut into 15 or so inch squares for a large dinner napkin size- I made 8 like that.
I also had more blue scraps as well as green and red scraps. They were all cut in about 13 inch squares. That size is a little smaller than we prefer but the fabric is just perfect for cloth napkins.
So, I just pinned them together and made double faced napkins, more a cocktail size.
The small ones are reversible and I think they look very cheerful.
This was fabric from my stash- not anything I went out and bought. I have a pretty big stash, mostly given to me. Some is stuff my mom bought, some is from the thrift store and a lot of the recent stuff is bargains my dad finds at yard sales.
I am really thankful to have it.
My husband says that when I get ready to make something, I can usually find what I need in the craft room and he is right.
I've also been sewing up 2 tops for me - maybe they will be finished soon and I can show you next week.
Baked Zucchini Chips

| Baked zucchini chips Another Pinterest recipe I tried this week- very good way to serve zucchini or squash. I use Panko bread crumbs but I think saltine cracker crumbs would be great too. I followed the recipe and had twice as much breading as would fit on my 3 squash. |

I have a drawer full of cloth napkins that I used to use when my children were little. I should start using them again. I have seen the zucchini chips and haven't tried them yet. Thinking that I just might do that this week as they look yummy!

ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog this week and I'm enjoying reading all your posts. I love your Cricut projects. I bought one recently, even though I'm not a scrapper. It's great to see all the other types of things that can be done with it. Love the zucchini chips, too!

ReplyDeleteLove the napkins! I've really enjoyed the ones I've made, also in dinner-size and cocktail size. And after I'd made all the napkins we could use, I used thrifted tablecloths to make kitchen towels, too.
