Back to #16... since I can't wait to show you my mad sewing skills. I found 2 napkins on clearance at Crate and Barrel for $1.95


I love the colors and I love the pattern.

So I borrowed my Mom's new sewing machine, and sewed them together and stuffed them with fluff!

they think the couch is much comfier than a table :)
