Sew Green
The first two projects are cloth napkins and makeup remover rounds, two items that many people use every day and toss! They're both simple to sew and can be made pretty quickly. In the below video, Beth shares time-saving tips for making cloth napkins and reusable makeup remover rounds in multiples.
Scraps leftover? Don't toss them! Here are some resources for ways to use (or donate) them.

Cloth Napkins
Fabrics Used: Exquisite by Gerri Robinson of Planted Seed Designs for Riley Blake Designs
Did you know? On average, each person in America uses 2,200 two-ply napkins every year. We recommend making 10 cloth napkins per person in your family. Think of the impact you and your family can have by switching to cloth napkins!
Reusable Makeup Remover Rounds
Fabrics Used: Indigo Garden by Heather Peterson for Riley Blake Designs
Did you know? About 20 million makeup remover wipes are discarded every day. A single cloth makeup remover round can be washed and reused repeatedly and will last several years, replacing about 500 disposable wipes.
