[Nfb-krafters-korner] Folding fabric

[Lindy van der Merwe]

Hi all,
I think that there are similarities between origami (paper folding) and 
folding fabric into shapes. I have a link to a page with some fabric folding 
instructions, but I will have to look for it. Napkin folding might also be 
something to try. I will post the link as soon as I have found it. I like 
the idea of folding facecloths or even cloth diapers into shapes that will 
be fun for kids or for a baby shower?
Lindy
