Simple Easter/Spring Gift

Eaden had her first sewing lesson this past week. I read about making cloth napkins on Rhythm of the Home a while back and thought it would be a great first project for the kids. It was!


 We gave some away as Easter/Spring gifts.


 And we had plenty left over for the kitchen table.

  6. I was her age when I learned to machine-sew and I loved making cloth napkins! Great idea for affordable and cute gifts! Love your fabrics, and her focused expression.

  7. I love the fabrics you all picked out! She has the same "seriously focused" expression my son gets when he is busy with a task...too cute! Thanks for sharing on the Spring Carnival!

  8. I love your cloth napkins. My son is learning to use the sewing machine and made a small pillow for his toys. I think we need to refresh our napkin selection!

  9. We love cloth napkins, too. But, I have to say I've never been so fancy as to sew in my leotard!
