These would make cute gifts if you have a lot to make for a quilt group or other for that matter. Great use for scraps.

Gosh I hadn't done those for a few yrs. back. I sat down did all my cutting and chained piece them and when finished I had 16 all made. I will post a pic. later.

You can make these in 5 minutes, or less if you chain piece. Great way to use up your scraps.

cut main fabric 6 1/2 x 5 1/2, lining 7 1/2 x 5 1/2

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169767[/ATTACH]

you need two pieces of fabric, one main piece and one for the lining

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169768[/ATTACH]

sew 1/4 inch seam along both ends of the 5 1/2 sides, right sides together

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169769[/ATTACH]

turn right sides out and press so that your lining fabric shows evenly on both sides of your main fabric

[ATTACH=CONFIG]169770[/ATTACH]

bring both sides to the center and press

sew across the ends using 1/4" seam

then zig zag stitch across the same ends

Turn the tissue holder right side out, use a point turner to poke the corners neatly

Thanks for the tutorial. I have made these before and they are SUPER. I like to box the corners (like the bottom corners of a totebag)

That is pretty easy and fast. Thanks for sharing.

I made 35 of these for church and even though I was a bit leery of some of the scraps I used they all turned out great and everyone loved them and thought I spent a lot of time on them. I told them that I did not give cards out this year because I wanted to do something they could enjoy all year long.

Thanks so much for this tut. I'm off to make four right now to put in stockings.

I am such a newbie at this could you tell me what's the difference in the corners of tote-bag?
