Cloth Napkins

So I was reading over at Stacy Makes Cents( WHOM I LOVE BTW) and found her post about cloth napkins. It got me thinking about another possible cost to cut. So this one really depends how many paper-towels/napkins you go thru a month but we REALLY use them. I buy a pack of the viva/ and or bounty papertowels for between $9-$10 for 8 Rolls. We usually go thru this in about 2 weeks. Adding up to about $20.00 a month.  Now in her post she found a GREAT deal on cloth napkins but I decided to sew my own. We ended up buying a soft flannel sheet and I was able to cut out over 50 pieces. I'm still working on them as we speak but as of now this is what I have made.

I store mine in a container on our kitchen table


These are in no way perfect( my first ever sewing since home economics in 7th grade lol)

The sheet cost me $1.00 and will make 50 pieces. Saving me an average of $20.00 a month ($240.00 a year!) Defiantly a nice saving and plus these are so much cuter!
