Sometimes easy projects make the best last minute gifts. Cute as can be, along with placemats to match and you have a great gift for lots of friends and family.

I’ve been sewing for decades, but I love these simple little projects BECAUSE they are simple. Thank you for these. I’m thinking make sets of four to eight so every one has their own little bundle of paper napkins, versus providing cloth napkins, especially for those who have children and you don’t want to have to wash cloth napkins all the time. Or maybe make it a little larger to be able to hold more napkins as a nice alternative to the metal ones normally used for tables.

I have never see a napkin holder like this. The ones I have used (and filled with paper napkins in the past) set on the table and held many napkins (to be used by everyone at the table). Most of them were made out of metal. Your napkin holder would be nice for a picnic, or to have on hand when I have to eat at my desk. This is a wonderful idea. This napkin holder will not break anything if it should be knocked off the table. Thank you.

It was really useful knowing how to finish off the button properly - I don't like hand sewing - I normally use my machine!!

I could see a combination of items put together and sold as a set! Awesome and simple project for days when the "Mojo" isn't there..

Sometimes the simple projects are the best

I have tried that threading technique hundreds of times over the years. it has NEVER WORKED. I'll just roll it between my fingers, thank you.

Great project. Even experienced sewists need quick and easy projects. Great gifts and craftstall item. Thank you. Love all your videos😊

I love this. Do you have a video for fabric napkins as I would prefer to put them inside.

New one for me. Thank You. Have you done a placemat with utensil and napkin holder attached?

I’m in my 70s but happy to learn a better way to sew on buttons. You are such a good teacher, thank you!💖

I love all your projects, and this beginner one is no exception. I teach my teen grandaughter and her friends sewing every chance I get and look forward to more of these.

Perfect for a picnic basket

I can use this for our Christmas picnic! Another great idea!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks Christine a lovely quick project

I so enjoy watching your tutorials, simple or advanced, or more challenging.

You’re one of my fave sewing creators, the fact you’re Aussie, is an added bonus 😋. The projects are PERFECT for ADHDers that get bored easily/quickly & we can make batches at a time. I will be making these for my craft stall & Xmas gifts for friends and family. Thank you, you’re awesome 🥰🥰

Thank you for this idea Christine - beautifully explained, as usual, and with great sewing tips. My husband has suggested that anyone living in the north of Scotland, like us 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, needs to make a small modification if using outdoors - attach it to a house brick, so it doesn’t blow away 😮 Very best wishes from a Granny in Aberdeenshire - you can teach an old dog new tricks. 🥰

Question for you, Christine! Do you prewash cotton fabrics before sewing them up, lining them with interfacing stabiliser or batting?

Well Christine. I’m 70 and you taught me an easy way to sew on a button. Never too old to learn lol. I love this little napkin holder. That would look lovely on a buffet table. I have lots of family over on Boxing Day. Do you think you could create a cutlery holder that would match the napkin holder. That would look really cute. Thanks Christine. I hope you are winning your table tennis. 😉❤️

I like this and I’m going to try to make one. I’ve been sewing for years, but I love your beginners projects. Every once in a while you just need to make something easy. Thank you Christine ❤

Love this Napkin Holder - so pretty! Thanks for the instructions!

Love it! Will be making them to sell this holiday season.

I think this would be great on the road. Maybe leave one in your car for all those togo napkins that accumulate.

cute idea hope you are enjoying the vay cay 🥰🥰

Super cute and it's nice to have an easy project

There is no shame in using a needle threader lol😩

Love this! Thank you.

Yes beginner projects!

That's very cute!

Great project!🥰

❤

Christine, once again, thank you. You are great at explaining and making projects less confusing. The type of teacher that is needed today. Thanks again. 😊

I love simple, practical projects like this!
