Christmas Tree Napkins

I like Christmas craft.

Christmas is at my mother's house this year, and I thought I would make some fancy, silly napkins to take (in addition to the summer pudding, savoury cheesecake for vegetarian husband and nice salad that are our requested contribution - my mother is very organised). I am making them now, so that I can give them to her next weekend and pre-empt any other napkins about which she might be thinking.
The idea has been perculating since I saw these napkins on Kathryn's blog last year.
I made 12x 10 inch radius napkins, translating this to 25cm to draw a semicircle on the side of a carboard box as a template.
I folded 114cm quilting cotton in half lengthways, and found that this was a perfect width for the napkin + seam allowance of about 1cm. I cut 6 from each of 2 doubled fabrics, but forgot to measure how much fabric it took. Kathryn says it would be 3 and 3/8 yards of each fabric, and that looks right to me. I have more fabric, in case there end up being more guests, which often happens due to my hospitable parent. (12 is only one extra at the moment)

You sew two constrasting fabrics right sides together, leaving a space for turning, trim, press, turn, press, stitch up opening. Easy-peasy.

Kathryn gives links to some blogs with measuring, sewing and folding instructions, but they are both for smaller napkins. In my opinion you would not want to go much smaller than a 25cm radius, Christmas napkins need to be generous to cope with too much eating and drinking whilst in one's nice clothes.
The folding is fairly intuitive, but I took photos anyway.









Ta da!
they were very quick.
I wonder if my son's teacher would like some for her Christmas pressie?
