The Best Thing I Ever Made

I was once married. We had a wonderful wedding, almost all handmade by me. I love tablesettings anyway, but for my wedding, I wanted the best. When the caterer told me I would be paying $6 per napkin rental, I knew exactly what to do with that roll of natural linen in my fabric stash: hand sew 126 dinner napkins with mitered hems. It was the most relaxing sewing project of my life. They looked wonderful at my wedding. They have survived countless parties and picnics. They match every scheme. I couldn't live without them now. They are the best thing I ever made.
