Napkin Folding Ideas for Your Thanksgiving Celebration

I’m a big fan of origami in general, so I love the collection of helpful napkin folding tutorials Jenny Chan has put together on her website. A native New Yorker and a self-taught
origamist/crafter, Jenny offers FREE craft tutorials on her YouTube Channel – home to over 10,000 subscribers.

Elegantly folded napkins are a simple way to accent your Thanksgiving table. The napkin folding flower is my personal favorite, but even a basic bishop’s hat or crown would work well for this special occasion.

Visit Origami Tree for links to all the video tutorials.

Etsy Spotlight: 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers Pattern

Vintage is making a serious comeback – and I’m 100% here for it. There’s just something timelessly romantic and effortlessly charming about retro styles, and this 1955 Baby Doll Nightgown & Bloomers PDF Pattern is a dreamy example. With delicate details and a classic silhouette, this three-piece sleepwear set captures the elegance and playfulness of mid-century fashion.

But here’s what makes it even more exciting: imagine sewing this pattern using vintage sheet sets! Not only does it give a sweet, nostalgic vibe (hello, florals and pastel stripes), but it also turns your sewing project into a sustainable, upcycled creation. Repurposing old linens is one of my favorite tricks for reducing waste while still making something utterly beautiful and functional. The soft, worn-in feel of vintage sheets also makes them perfect for loungewear like this.

Whether you’re sewing this for yourself, gifting it to someone special, or even displaying it as part of a vintage-inspired craft fair, this pattern is as versatile as it is adorable.
