Easy DIY sewing project on how to make self-binding cloth napkins for your table setting decor. Make this double-sided mitered napkins by using fat quarter fabric or repurpose materials that perfect for DIY homemade gift.

Use This Guide To Make Self-Binding Cloth Napkins

I found my self keep making cloth napkins because it is so easy, fun, and reusable. Every time I saw a cute print on quilt cotton, especially those on the fat quarter bundle, I will grab it, and off I go making more napkins. It is an easy and fast sewing project especially if you are using the pattern from the double-sided 10-minute cloth napkins.

If you try the DIY mitered corner napkins, then you should try to make this self-binding napkin too. It is like the mix of the double-sided napkins and mitered napkins together.

I use the fat quarter bundles that comes with 8 pcs per package of different fabric prints. I found this fabric from the local fabric store where I live here. You can also get a fat quarter bundle from here.

If you prefer purchasing fabric on meter or yard, you would need about 1,82 meters or 2 yards of material to get eight fat quarters. From eight fat quarters, you will get four sets of double-sided napkins.

The bold color is just beautiful and pops when you display it on the dining table. The darker and multiple colors will help to disguise any stain that left on the napkins.

But not to worry, these cloth napkins are washable and reusable over and over again. If you don’t have time to iron it, me sometimes too, you can use the wrinkle release option on the dryer machine.

What You Need To Make Self Binding Cloth Napkins

  • 1 bundle of fat quarters fabric ( 4 pcs for front side and 4 pcs for backing)
  • Self-binding cloth napkin pattern
  • Matching thread
  • Washable fabric marker, I like the disappeared ink fabric marker
  • Sewing machine
  • Pins
  • Ruler

How To Make Self Binding Cloth Napkins

Measure and cut the fabric just like it show on the pattern, 4 pcs of 18 ” x 18″ for the backing side and 4 pcs of 14″ x 14 ” for the front side.

Fold the larger square one in half, mark the the folded line. Repeat the process for all four sides. Repeat the process with the smaller square pieces fabric. (image no.2)

Layer the larger square and the smaller one with the right side facing each other. Pin it together in place and continue to make the smaller square fabric is in the center. The sides won’t be the same length. (image no.3)

Straight stitch around the smaller square fabric edges with 1/4″ seam allowance and leave it about 4″ for the opening. (image.4, 5, 6).

Mark a line in each overhang corners to the stitch, then sew it (it is easier to determine the line by putting the ruler to make a 90° angle). (image no.7)

      Hi Brenda, which part? Is it where you mark the corner? You can use a simple ruler then make a 90 degree angle as it show on the image no.7 then you sew the marked line before clip the corner off. Let me know again please if you need more help with this napkins.

        I’m having a hard time with the corners too. A 90 degree angle gives me a box shape when turned right side out. I have been adjusting, and adjusting but still struggle to get the corners right on the first sew. More details on which fabric your 90 degree angle is measured from would help ( inside or outside fabric?) Thank you!

          Hi Rachel, if you see the image no.7, fold the bigger size fabric to make a triangle corner (still on the wrong side of fabric, means the inside), then use the simple ruler to create 90 degree angle just like it show on the image, draw the line all the way to the stitch point. You can see that I use purple marker to draw the line. From there, you stitch along the line before you cut off the corner. Hope it help.

    Thanks for this. Was a lot harder than I anticipated – off to watch the corner video as I had caught the corners up when stitching round the edges so had to unpick then do the corners separately.
    I also struggled to get the binding over the smaller inner once turned out the right way and ready to iron and sew. Some practice needed I think

      I hope it turn out well for you too. The easiest way to get the corner right is make 1/4 inch seam allowance on the smaller fabric square. The line will guide you where to stitch by the corner.
