My sister and I both love Liberty
fabrics, and she needed new dinner napkins so I designed and made these. The
Liberty print is the one with leaves and flowers, which is typical of 19th century English textile designer
William Morris’s fabric and wallpaper. Morris was also an artist, writer,
and libertarian socialist associated with
the Pre-Raphaelites and the English Arts and Crafts movement. (As an
author, illustrator and medievalist, he helped to establish the modern
fantasy genre, and was a direct influence on authors such as J.
R. R. Tolkien.)
I used the
DIY napkin instructions I found on the wonderful Chocolate
& Zucchini website and made eight (18-inch) dinner
napkins and eight (9-inch) cocktail napkins, all of which are made with two different
fabrics. I even made a re-usable pouch to present and store them in, so no
wrapping paper needed!
