Oh, man! I just took some men’s shirts to Good Will and they would have been perfect for this. I like the way you did the corners. I’m not a very comfortable sewer, so this looks like a great project. If I get good at these I might buy some bamboo terry and make Christmas presents. Thanks!

I really like how Nikki showed how to do the corners – it makes them look very professional. Great idea to monogram a little initial for each family member.

I love this! We use cloth wipes for our kids, but my husband and I need something to wipe our fingers on, too. And I have a couple collared shirts that have been waiting to be repurposed…

Nicki,

This is great! I love to sew but I’m NOT a sewer! I’ve wanted to make cloth napkins as gifts but still haven’t. Your instructions are great and I LOVE how you make the corners pointy by folding them over so obvious once you point it out! I know what some people are getting for Christmas this year. Thanks!

Wonderful! I’ve been hesitant about sewing my own napkins because I always thought they should have a rolled hem — which isn’t hard, but it certainly was a barrier. This was looks much more approachable.

These can also be used as handkerchiefs, if you’re into that sort of thing.
