0:00.0 | Welcome to the Save the Date wedding podcast with your host, Alicia McCormack. |
0:09.4 | Alicia's a comedian, wife, author of Smart Wedding, who once had a DIY overload sewing 60 matching polka dot napkins for her wedding. |
0:18.0 | You are correct, Carole, my lovely voiceover lady. |
0:21.0 | I did create my own, well, our own wedding napkins because we had a theme and I had to |
0:26.9 | team with the theme and the theme was polka dots and could I find polka dot napkins that |
0:31.8 | have recently priced, you know, a price point? |
0:35.4 | No, I couldn't. |
0:36.2 | So I had to make my own, which was a big endeavor. |
0:38.8 | I did talk about it actually on a couple of podcasts ago with Jen from Something Turquoise, |
0:43.3 | the wonderful DIY blog. I said to her, I spent a weekend. It was Easter weekend, and I'd saved |
0:50.4 | up Dexter to binge watch. And I basically sat on our lounge room floor cutting these square |
0:56.3 | napkin templates and put them together. Now if Martha Stewart were to inspect these |

1:11.5 | archaicap now, and I'm not too old. I don't want you think I'm ancient, but we did sewing at school. |
1:17.4 | Do they still teach sewing at school? I don't know. It was when the boys would all go, oh, I don't want to do |
1:22.5 | sewing, and then they would always end up being quite good, and the girls are dick around. I don't know if it was the same for you at school, but I do remember being sat in front of the sewing machine, just |
1:31.0 | not wanting to do it. And a lot of the guys in my class, and I went to a fairly rough, like, |
1:35.9 | alpha male school. And totally true. Half of the guys in my year are in jail or grandparents now. |
1:42.4 | No judgment. But they all embrace the sewing. I think it was |
1:45.6 | the practical skills. It was the craft. They liked to get their hands into it. Stop them from |
1:49.7 | committing crimes for 10 minutes. Yeah, that's probably another story, my high school years. |
