Very nice I am smiling. They still work just not as well as cotton would. Tell him better a hank than a sleeve, lol. I know.....ewwww.

They look large enough that they could be used as lunch napkins, or cocktail napkins. Doing all those curtains is a lot of work.

Mercy, 10 sets of curtains with linings and then hankies of the left over. What a job Carolyn. Those hankies can still be used. You have certainly done enough for a while of work things. Now do fun things, more towels!! LOL Hugs/Lillian

I had a good chuckle when you said (below) that after you did 10 sets of curtains and made hankerchiefs - then you painted the kitchen too. Only a mom can do that --- Too bad about the polyester, but I think you will find a use for them. And they look very good.

I think the mums that sew are the ones who get all these extra jobs, so occassionally maybe we should go to our kids homes with what looks like a broken arm or something so we can just relax and enjoy ourselves there!
(I think you did a great job getting all that done and thinking of a use for the leftovers rightaway - even if he did burst your bubble! I'm sure there is a good use for them.

A major job & well done. Shame about the hankies (they look sew nice too) but as has already been said, napkins would be a great use for them. You have every right to feel very pleased with yourself, undertaking & achieving all of this.

Thanks for your kind words
I think napkins might work also.

Wowser you have been busy! As for the hankies, you could sew two together and make monogrammed bags for things for him (although I like the napkin idea as well). Thanks for sharing this project with us.
