Nice set of vintage cocktail napkins off Ebay, with a little scrubbing...
Some stains would not budge...
Very delicate fabric and lace...
All cleaned and ready to get started...
...and you have my very first needle book!  Looking forward to posting pictures of them all when I finish the rest of them...

I was so inspired with your article to create needle books out of cocktail napkins, that I have already started on next year's Christmas gifts!  I have been purchasing vintage cocktail napkins from Ebay and having fun with my new creations!  Enjoy the pictures...
