Napkins made from patchwork fabric and a napkin ring decorated with dried flowers

1   Cut a square from patchwork fabric in your chosen size, e.g.. 45 x 45 cm. Fold the fabric 1 cm over twice. Press the fold with an iron leaving markings of the corner and the seam.

2   Cut the tip of the corner all the way down to the first ironed mark.

3   Fold the corner to the second ironed mark.

4   Fold one side over twice at the two marks (i.e. once at each mark) and insert pins.

5   Fold the other side over once at each mark so that the two sides meet in the corner as shown in the photo. Insert pins all the way round.

6   Sew the edges on the sewing machine.

7   Glue a small scrunched up tuft of sisal onto a wooden manilla tag. Glue a dried flower on top using a glue gun.

8   Write a name with a marker on the manilla tag and tie it onto the wooden napkin ring with a piece of natural twine. Attach the napkin ring around the fabric napkin.
