It's Shameless Commerce Tuesday. Today I'm giving you a sneak peak at a not-yet-listed item for my etsy shop, Pasque Flower Creations.
These 16"x16" (40.6 cm x 40.6 cm) handwoven cotton napkins are made from hand-dyed Guatemalan fabric woven on a treadle loom by weavers in the mountains of Guatemala. I fell in love with this colorful plaid fabric which I purchased from Debbie Maclin at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Spanglishfabrics.
I machine hemmed the napkins with a double 1/2" hem. The corners are mitered, and the miter junctures are hand stitched for extra durability. The napkins can be used as an eco-friendly napkin or as a basket liner for your favorite bread or scones.
The napkins will be sold in sets of two. These would be perfect as a hostess gift, housewarming gift, or holiday gift.
The fabric was prewashed with Retayne, a fixative that prevents bleeding in hand-dyed fabrics, before sewing. The finished napkins can be laundered by machine using cold water and a gentle cycle, and dried on the gentle cycle.
I'm waiting to list the napkins in my Etsy shop because I want to use FiestaWare as a photo prop in my photos. My quilting buddy, Sue, has an incredible collection of these brightly-colored ceramic dishes. It's been tricky arranging the photo shoot (crazy schedules!), but it will happen!
