We use cloth napkins around here, but please don’t think that we’re hoity-toity about it. They are several years old, stained and threadbare. If we didn’t use cloth napkins, I’d go through a hundred paper towels per meal. I’m that messy.
While pants shopping on Saturday, we came across the clearance linens at Younkers.
“We need more napkins,” Lloyd said.
“These are too expensive,” I said.
“They’re a dollar each,” he said.
“I can make them for less,” I said.
“But you won’t,” he said.
Oh, yeah?
Oh, yeah?
Fortunately, this cloth came with pre-drawn squares, so there was none of that pesky ‘measuring’ business.
There will be no actual sewing pictures, or you’d have to see my freakishly vein-y hands.
There was no pattern, and I kind of messed up the corners, but these things are for wiping pizza off my face, so who really cares, right?
So there you have it. They’re done, but that’s an hour and a half of my life I’ll never get back – though I did get to watch Bridezillas while working on them.
We should have just bought the dumb napkins. (But don’t tell Lloyd that.)
