::More Napkins::

April 25, 2013 By Katie

Have you seen these fun fabrics?!  I’ve been on a fabric binge for napkins lately, especially with the spring weather I want something new and fresh.  I think these could certainly be plugged into just about every project, but I really thought napkins were in line.

sewkatiedidThe West Seattle Fabric Company has the Urban Chiks Boho collection in all the colors.  The mix of brown in these speaks to me.  It seems like brown got left behind for a few years with the whole gray and navy are the new black thing, and this collection really mixes it well with its fun flowers.

I got each color way.  I like to add some larger prints to my kitchen to set off the bold colors of my Fiesta collection.

The low volume Urban Chiks flower has made it into my stash in every color now.  I’ve got a load of low volume ideas in my head in need of some crafty time for execution.  The flower reminds me so much of the Orla Kiely that I love and I’m sure was their inspiration.

Stitch Floral on the right is just a plain good active solid and is available in a load of colors.

And these pin dot flowers I want in every color way!

Be sure to check out The West Seattle Fabric Company’s fresh new website.  Happy sewing on this gorgeous Seattle spring day!  I predict the most awesome weather this summer.

    I love these fabric and thought the same thing, so I made placemats with a charm pack 🙂 The pin dot flowers are adorable.

      I think the pin dots would make great binding.

        I made a pincushion with 3 of the colors 🙂 and you are right, it would be adorable binding!

    Is there a napkin pattern you can recommend for a first time napkin maker? I enjoy your blog it always inspires me.

      I think Heather Ross’s book has one. I use a pillowcase method. Cut two squares and pin right sides together. Start sewing in the middle of one side, backstitch. Continue sewing around until you are about three inches from your starting point, backstitch. Turn right sides out and poke out corners. Press all around, turning opening to fold to the inside and pin closed. Topstitch with a decorative color thread close to the edge.
