Yesterday I made napkins. I was really excited about the napkins because we currently do not have napkins. I even bought really cute fabric that would coordinate with my colors and style. I also thought that napkins would be easy. Wow, I was wrong! I did not have a rotary cutter and was still struggling with cutting and sewing on straight lines. Apparently cutting on straight lines is important when making napkins. I now have a rotary cutter. There also was an error in calculating the amount of fabric that I needed. (Did I mention that I tought Kindergarten? Well, I can do "Kindergarten" math.) So, for the single layer napkins, I just make them smaller, and the double layer napkins I only made one. Both napkins were hard, but the double layer napkins with the rick rack were unbelievable hard. I literally worked on that one all day yesterday, and it is still not done correct.

I think that there might have been some pinning errors on that one also. I learned that I still have a lot to learn. I think that I am going to practice some more before completing more of the double layer napkins. I made a market bag, project three, yesterday. To save money, I used an old sheet. It is not the cutest bag, but I am getting better at straight line and piecing things together.

Today I am working on bunting and appliquéing. I am excited about this because I am making a shirt for Emma and would like to appliqué her name on it. We will see.
