Napkins! One holiday gift down!

Today I made a set of homemade napkins for one of my classroom assistants for a Christmas present Wait!! Am I ahead of schedule??

I loved this fabric I found and figured these would be my trial set I would keep since there's always a learning curve with new projects but they were easy to do and perfectly fine the first time through! I used the tutorial found here: http://gingercake.typepad.com/gingercake/2012/01/nine-minute-everyday-napkins-tutorial.html
I didn't change a thing! Just followed it exactly as described and...voila!

Six beautiful Everyday Napkins for about $3.00 (fabric from JoAnne's bought with a coupon) and just about an hour and a half of time (since I dawdled getting the cutting done)! I am so excited and plan to do a few more sets for gifts!  I am going to go back and print the labels from her tutorial as soon as I dig out some cardstock!
