Do you have get togethers with neighbors, friends, and family? Do you regularly shop for napkins and other table wear to keep from having the same old thing on the table?
I checked out the prices of table linens, and the prices have skyrocketed since I purchased my last set (6 yrs ago). Why pay $2.50 to $5.00 each for cloth napkins when you can make your own?
Most fabric stores carry a variety of holiday prints. And most have coupons in the paper or online. I love JoAnne Fabrics when it comes to variety. You can get the exact color or style you want at a great price. Sure, it will take some time to cut and sew, but think about all the money you can save!
Don't have a sewing machine? You don't need one!! The fabric stores carry the 'No Sew' tape that you use with your iron. When my sewing machine was 'sick', I used it to make my son a toy bag to take with him in the car. It has been over a year, and the hem is still in perfect condition!
There is a great napkin tutorial over at Tammy's Time blog. She has pictures and details on how she made her napkins. Check it our here.
Happy Saving!
