instructions from the handkerchief handbook

menu: apple, chevre & chive sandwiches
music: song to bobby, cat power


monogram: if you were lucky enough to inherit a set of monogrammed napkins or even find a set at a flea market, this fold gives you the chance to show it off. lacy or hemstitched edges also come front & center in this fold, so consider using it for any napkin with embellished edges.

white-cap fold: try a sweet and appealing fold reminiscent of the crisp caps worn by women in 18th century france & holland. it's a great fold for showcasing napkins with embroidered corner details.

demi-fan: an easy fold that dresses up a casual meal. there's no need for extra starch or pressing - this easygoing fold will hold its own with any fabric.
