An easy swap to help us reduce the size of our stash pile, and go green at the same time.
You will make four (4) spring-themed dinner napkins to send to your partner.
- Napkins must be between 16" & 18" square.
- Edges must be finished (sewn hem or rolled hem).
- Fabric is sender's choice, but you must use something that is spring-y in appearance and suitable for napkins. Think flowers, polka dots, stripes, and checks in light/bright colors. No novelty fabrics like Easter bunnies. Use cotton or linen.
- The napkins can be made of the same material, or you may use a combination of coordinating fabrics. Maybe you have four fat quarters from the same line that you've never used!
- You may add embroidery, yo-yo flowers, or other embellishments if you wish, but this is optional.
Here are some tutorials if you need tips.

Other swap rules:

- Communicate if there are any problems.
