Using self-made decor means that you can change it whenever you want and use different fabrics to match each season. And of course, they are real eye-catchers that add a special charm to any home.
Boho or summer print cushion covers

Handmade cloth napkins and coasters for garden parties and barbecues
Cloth napkins, table cloths and coasters are an easy way of making your table setting more attractive. They are easy to sew, can be designed in matching fabrics and colours, are easy to adapt to your own taste and are sustainable.

And these simple DIY projects are suitable for beginners too!
Fabric summer table decor for weddings and birthdays
