How to sew mitered corner napkins - Video tutorial

Leading up to the holidays, I’m going to be sharing a few tutorials for sustainable and useful scrap busting projects that are perfect for gift giving. Today’s video tutorial is the first in the series and it’s probably the most simple and most useful of all the projects. In this tutorial, I’ll be showing you how to sew your own mitered corner napkins using scrap fabric. Using a cloth napkin instead of paper disposable napkins is a great way to reduce waste and live a more sustainable lifestyle. Plus, when you use scrap fabric, these napkins are basically free to make. Read on to watch the video and learn how to make these luxurious and earth friendly napkins.

I’m super excited about today’s video because it features a very special guest – Melissa from Melly Sews! I’ve been following Melissa for many years now and have found so many of her sewing tutorials to be immensely helpful in my own sewing journey.

A few months ago, I reached out to her because I was going to be in her hometown of Austin for a long weekend. She suggested that we do a DIY holiday gift exchange video and I quite readily said yes. Coincidentally, we both made a zipper pouch but in different styles! It was so much fun to meet irl and exchange these handmade gifts. Today, we are both releasing the video tutorials for how to make them.

How to Sew Reusable Makeup Remover Squares

In today’s video, we’re sharing how to make reusable makeup remover squares. These little squares are a replacement for disposable cotton balls or pads and are an easy way to reduce waste and save money. Plus, if you have some cotton flannel in your scrap bag, they're basically free to make.⁠⁠ AND! This tutorial has a bonus lesson because it also shows you how to serge around a corner for a super clean finish. This technique will be helpful for all sorts of projects so it’s definitely worth it to watch the video.

For supplies, you’ll only need some scraps of cotton flannel, a serger/overlocker and thread. They’re super easy to make and so useful. I did some research on makeup remover that is packaged without plastic and the only solution I found was coconut oil. I’m currently using up a bottle of micellar water but I’m planning to switch over to coconut oil when it’s empty.

I hope that you found this video helpful. If you’re not already, make sure to follow my channel on YouTube to stay up to date on all my videos and let me know in the comments if there are any topics you're interested in seeing a tutorial about. Happy sewing!
