Use This Guide For Making Lace-Trimmed Cloth Napkins

This sewing tutorial makes lace-trimmed cloth napkins from printed fabric and embellishes it with cotton lace on edge.

What I think about lace is beautiful, elegant, fun, chic, and vintage feel. Hands up if you agree with me. Adding lace to the napkin is a lot more fun to make. You will get a DIY vintage cloth napkin from a regular plain-looking one.

  • DIY Vintage Lace Cloth Napkins

I often see the lace napkins for the wedding party. It sure beautiful, and of course, it is pricey if you need it in bulk.

But you can make it your own without taking too much of your time, especially if you already have the basic square cloth napkins ready.

My favorite material for napkins is cotton, linen, or a blend of cotton and polyester. For everyday use, I like to use cotton fabric because it is easy to clean.

On this project, I use a mismatched fat quarter cotton bundle. To make four napkins sheets, you would need one yard of fabric to get all the same print and color. You would need 2 yards of eyelet lace for one napkin.

What Kind Of Lace For Cloth Napkins

Any lace will look great on napkins. Everyone has their preferences. You can use any color of crocheted lace, embroidered lace, or eyelet lace trim.

For this project, I like to use cotton lace with simple embroidery trim because it is easy to care if you want to wash it. It also has a vintage vibe on it.

Cotton lace usually comes in rolls, just like ribbon. Any craft store and fabric store carries it. I often saw it at the dollar store too.

What You Need To Make Lace-Trimmed Cloth Napkins

  • 1-yard cotton/linen fabric or one bundle of these fat quarter fabrics for four sheets of napkins
  • 2-yard lace ribbon, I like the vintage feel of this cotton lace ribbon
  • Disappeared ink marker, my favorite one is this dual purpose fabric marker
  • Thread
  • Pin
  • Scissors
  • Ironing machine
  • Sewing machine

How To Make DIY Napkins With Lace

This project uses the same open mitered method for all corners as this rectangular mug rug.

If you already have a set of single-sided napkins, you can skip the cutting and sewing processes. Just add the lace on one edge or all-around edge of the napkin.

  • Supply For Sewing Lace Napkins

Cut the fabric into 18 -inches x 18-inches. Cut the lace ribbon with enough length for one edge of your napkin. I cut mine into 46 cm or 18 inches long.

Use the zig-zag stitch or a serger machine to prevent fraying on the lace. The fray check liquid also works well for this.

Mark two lines along the edge of the fabric with 1/2 inches apart. It will be easier if you press it with the ironing machine along the lines.

Lay the napkin flat with the wrong side of the fabric facing up.

  • Folding Open Mitered Napkins

Fold the corner of the napkin, then fold again.
Fold the first line along the edge of the napkin, then fold it again.

You will get the open miter on the corner. Repeat the folding process for all four corners and pin it.

How To Sew Cotton Lace On Napkins

Once you finish creating the miter fold on each corner, it is time to add cotton lace on one of the napkin’s edges.

  • Pinning Lace To Napkins

Fold 1/2 inch of the lace. Pin the lace in between the mitered fold.

Pin the lace along the hem. Pin the other edge of the lace ribbon on the other mitered fold.

  • Sewing Lace To Napkins

Straight stitch along the hem and sew the lace ribbon at the same time. Press the hem of the napkin with an ironing machine for a crisper look.
