Thread: 100+ tissue covers later...............

I make those too, put tissue in them and sell them for $3.00. I think this is reasonable.

I don't intend to get rich, but I am saving up for a lap-top so the cash will help. AND, I've got a couple chance auctions to donate to, as well as I've given some to family and friends so far.

I sell these at a local small shop and sell them for $3. I include a package of tissue inside it as well.....very convenient for the purchaser. I buy the 10-12 pack of tissues at Walmart or Target for minimal cost so well worth the llittle extra effort. Never sold them at craft shows though....did other items.

I pulled out a scrap bag, cut the linings from solids or nondescript prints. Then I cut out outsides from pretty prints-------------then I sorted, for the first 50 or so. After that I did some holiday stuff that needed red or white: Christmas, Valentines day, patriotic. I did manage to make a very few masculine covers.

SOMEWHERE in this house is a huge bag of pants legs, denim, khaki, black, navy, some far out prints that I had left over from doing a few dozen shopping bags. I NEED THEM NOW. But I can't find them. I can't image that I got rid of them.

I like a bit heavier lining since some of my prints were rather light weight.

Again, seems reasonable with the tissues included. I need to buy the tissues, too, but I keep forgetting to add them to my shopping list.

So I question who actually buys them? I have thought of making some too, but I don't know anyone around here that would even use one.

Everyone I know uses the tissues------------except me! I'm going to have to change and start using them now that I have all the neat covers.

I just came from a quilt show that had them for sale @ $3.00 each

Thank you, now I know what I will make for the kids teachers this year for Christmas. Our budget is stretched and this would be a useful gift.

I may make some in the school colours for the school store to sell.

A larger version could be used to cover bum wipe packages.

A smaller one with the opening near the top could be used for business cards.
