My mom had expressed an interest in this print. She collects fancy bottles of olive oil and mentioned that this chili pepper fabric would make great cloth napkins as a theme with the olive oil. I promised her that if I had enough fabric left from the pillowcases, I would make her a set of napkins. Unfortunately, I ran out of the fabric.
Hubby and I took a trip to Joann's and perused their fabric selection. I didn't find the same fabric, but I did find something similar.
I wish I would have known how much fabric is required for napkins because I would have bought twice as much. I ran out of time and ended up making only four napkins.
I really like how they came out! The tutorial was really easy to follow. I suggested to my hubby that we make a set of 8 napkins for us. We want to find some type of Asian print, something in a deep red and black. I think that would look really classy.

Very cool! My mother-in-law makes us a seasonal valance for our kitchen and then makes us matching placemats. She tells me it's very easy - I'm still intimidated! I might have to ease into it with napkins. :)
Shelley, the napkins were pretty easy but time consuming. I wanted to get everything just right and had never made them before so they took a few hours. I have a feeling the next set will go a lot faster. You should try it!
How cool that your MIL makes you valances and matching placemats!
