My wedding hiatus needs to be over

So this is me attempting to get back into wedding planning. I was sitting on the couch watching Sweet Home Alabama with my mom and suddenly thought, I could be doing something wedding-related. I then convinced my mom to start working on one of my wedding DIY projects. I needed my mom for this because it involves sewing. Yea, sewing.

Long story short, it involves these escort cards and table napkins. Let's start with the escort cards.

Wherever I got this image from (too long ago), the blogger had created custom napkins from different patterns and incorporated it into her seating chart. So her guests would look for their names and match the fabric pattern on their card to the table with the corresponding napkins. Adorable right? And definitely a must-have.

I ran this idea by my mom and surprisingly she was OK with it. So I started buying fabric and after sitting on it for a good two months, I decided today, to get the ball rolling.

So here we go. Start with fabric.
Measure it. In this case, we're shooting for 18 or 19 inches. Once you have the desired length, cut the fabric in a square.
Then watch your mom attempt to sew the edges. She had to attempt because the sewing machine was acting up.
Read the instruction manual because the sewing machine is acting up.
Give up after 20 minutes, fold it nicely, and stick a draft version of your Menu card into the napkin fold - and then take a pic of it for your blog.
Ta da! The end.

P.S. This will eventually continue at a later point. When the sewing machine isn't acting up.
