I like to pamper my mother.

My mom's a great lady, so I decided to really apply myself for her Christmas present this year, and I made her a set of cloth placemats and napkins. It was a great exercise, and I learned a lot about pinning and patterns and sewing straight lines. She insists that they're beautiful and perfect, but I think I'm going to try to make her another set soon, now that I've started to iron out the bugs in my method.



The napkin rings are from Pier 1.
