I'm not working on any particular sewing projects these days, but want to keep myself 'in the mood.' So I've been looking for little things to do that don't involve a trip to the fabric store. (See my previous post.)
I like cloth napkins, just because they feel nice--nothing to do with the environment. Saving the earth is just a bonus. Saving money and getting something semi-luxurious out of the deal is the real reason I do it.
Today, I'm making more cloth napkins.
This is frugal because it's a)cheaper than constantly buying paper napkins* and b)I'm using up some of my ridiculous fabric scrap stash. Did I say ridiculous? Can any sewist have too much fabric--even little pieces?
*truth: my husband buys paper napkins. I use them, too, but not as often as I use cloth. I only wish I could get the rest of the house on board with me. Oh, well.

I like to make colorful beanbags as my cheap sewing project.
The kids like them and I get them to make their own.
I've been wanting to this for a long time. I'm still buying and using paper towels and napkins. Yikes! I have everything I need, so I better get going. Thanks for the motivation!
My family doesn't seem to care if we use napkin or cloth. Unfortunately we tend to use napkin. We need to get more frugal!
Hi,
My name is Caren.
I find your site http://sortafrugal.blogspot.com/
and the selection of resources there very interesting.
I have a good credit card website that contains much useful information for your readers. There's a fine set of articles that reveal all pros and cons of credit cards, give tips how to avoid credit card debt and establish good credit with minimum efforts. During the current financial crisis this can't but attract more visitors to your site.
If it agrees with your policy, I would like to place some links to my website at your site.
Please let me know if you are interested via email caren@acclaimnetwork.com
Thank you for your time,
Regards,
Caren.
Great project to be tackling now when it's cold outside! Thanks for sharing your idea on our blog today about using that last bit of mustard at the bottom of the bottle to make a yummy salad dressing. I'll be sure to try that next time.
