There are few things quite so delicious as warm dinner rolls straight out of the oven, right? Steaming hot with butter oozing down the sides…Man, I’m making myself hungry! I thought I would make a super easy pattern to make those vintage bread napkins that your grandmother pulled out for special meals. You know, the ones that had half circles cut out of the sides? The concept to my Fabric Napkin Bread Warmer is exactly the same as hers but with a few modern updates!

Fabric Napkin Bread Warmer
Materials:
- Fabric (I used the Little House on the Prairie fabrics)
- Fairfield Solarize LinerÂ
- Sewing Machine & Supplies
- “Fabric Napkin Bread Warmer” Free Pattern (grab below!)
Step One. Assemble supplies. I used fabric from the gorgeous new Little House on the Prairie Andover Fabrics Collection. The quality weight of the fabric worked perfectly for this project because it’ll withstand the inevitable multiple washings. Plus the vintage designs were just screaming to be made into something as quaint as a bread warmer!
Step Two. Fold the fabric in half and then in half again (quartered). Place the pattern into the corner and cut.
Step Three. Repeat with both the lining and the Solarize material.
Step Four. Layer the fabric and lining with their right sides facing each other. Place the Solarize on the back of the lining and sew around the edge with a 1/4″ seam allowance. Make sure to leave a small opening to flip right side out.
Step Five. Using that small opening I just mentioned, turn the napkin right side out and press with iron to make nice sharp edges. Sew tightly around the edges, making sure to close up that small opening you used to turn right side out.
Full of Thanks
So, there you have it! This Fabric Napkin Bread Warmer is so super easy to make and looks just like your grandmother’s with the exception of the additional Solarize layer that will keep your rolls warm through the entire meal.

Hi there,
I was wondering how much fabric do you need for this project? Would it be a 1/2 of a yard? Or a full yard of fabric? I am going to make these for Christmas gifts! Thank you!
wanda j says
Do you know the length of fabric needed. I’d like to make baggies with supplies for gifts.
Vanessa Brady says
You’ll need a 24″ square for each layer. Hope that helps!
Rose says
How big is the bun warmer when it’s finished?
Jacki G. says

Sandy Brust says
I don’ know what Solarize is. Is that the samething as InsulBrite? It is used in pot holders and casserole carriers. Thanks very much.
LaDonna says
What is solarized fabric and where do you get it?
Vanessa Brady says
Solarize is the name of an insulating lining that helps keep the rolls warm. You can purchase it from the link in my supply section.
Melissa says
How do you know what size to make the pattern. I don’t see any measurements or size to blow it up to.
Alice Necaise says
I. Love your fabric napkin bun warmer. I am going to make it for my daughter. Do you have the instructions to make the bowl? It looks like it can be made with 1/2 inch piping. I would love to make it.
Vanessa Brady says
Unfortunately, I didn’t make the bowl. You’re totally right that it looks easily make-able. Best of luck!
Annette Lunnon says
Is there any way you could give me the dimensions of the bowl. I have made several of these and I really like the idea of the bowl + bun warmer.
Thank you.
Rose says
How much fabric do you need for the bun warmer napkin. Earlier you had said 24″ square, but I find that seems a lot of wasted fabric. Can it be a smaller piece?
Donna says
Do you have to use cotton fabric and cotton thread? Does it go in the oven?
sandy says
how do you print this pattern?
Kerry McColey says

Love the warmer. But I’m new to patterns with no pattern in them Do I draw my own from what you have on the picture. Thanks
Marie Adcock says
Can you use insul-bride instead of the solarize lining?
