Napkin With A Neat Buttonhole To Protect Your Clothes When You're Eating

Problem
How do you protect the front of your blouse or shirt?

Answer
Cover your front with an absorbent napkin. But how do you attach it neatly?
Here's the answer:

Napkin with buttonhole from The Tanglin Club, Singapore.

Full marks to the Tanglin club for providing these. I imagine that the suppliers wordwide can do this. If not, large hotels and restaurant chains and organizations where staff wear uniforms have departments with sewing machines which can make buttonholes.

If you are an individual with a sewing machine, or have a neighbour or relative or friend with a sewing machine, you could insert a buttonhole into a table napkin.  

A useful item for yourself if you eat out or travel a lot. Maybe a Xmas gift from a practical friend.
