Drop the Disposables, Part 1
When I was young in the mountains, I sewed
cloth napkins on my 1946
Singer sewing machine. I made red plaid ones for Italian meals
and fun
butterflies for Summer feasts. I carefully packed them away. . .
Now
that I am married and we have our own home, the napkins are being well
used and I've added quite a few more to the collection. Three
years
in,
do cloth napkins have a practical use in the home? You bet!
We love
using cloth napkins and our guests feel extra special when they stay
for meals. They're a simple, frugal solution to multi-napkin
meals
(like ribs and fried chicken) and at-the-table
spills. We're not tired of folding them and when we ate meals
away
from home, I packed them in lunches. They're also a great way to
entertain babies honing their fine motor skills.
How do you get
started? Here's a few
tips....
