This over-sized ladies shirt is a good transition weight and color for our Texas fall.

Lunch napkin. |
Add-on: I like fabric napkins and hope they reduce my ecological footprint. Scrap napkins remind me of clothes I make/refashion.
Steps:
- Combine shirt/pillow-case scraps to make a casual
napkin for the kitchen napkins basket.
- Back with white scrap from neck binding, 7 " wide, serge.

The new neckline is much more flattering; the standard collar didn't mix well with the bold floral. Very nice refash, and great idea for napkins!
Great refashion!
I too love the idea of using up scraps to make mismatched napkins...and the neckline is infinitely better! So flattering on you :) Great work!
