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 [ATTACH=CONFIG]169771[/ATTACH] sew across the ends using 1/4" seam [ATTACH=CONFIG]169772[/ATTACH] then zig zag stitch across the same ends [ATTACH=CONFIG]169773[/ATTACH] Turn the tissue holder right side out, use a point turner to poke the corners neatly [ATTACH=CONFIG]169774[/ATTACH] |
Thanks for the tissue holder tut------------I see a bunch of them in my future!~

Thank you for doing the tutorial. I see making some for the church bazaar.

They say mistakes is the step to new inventions. I like the wider trim and would be perfect to personalize with name, initials or a small design especially if you have the embroidery machine.
Men like these also to carry in their pocket so I made some with masculine fabric, sports fabric, college fabric for students etc. We sold them at our church bazaar with a pack of tissues included for $2.00. I have also made these using suede fabric with braid along the opening edges and they do not need any lining. You just cut 1 piece of suede 5 1/2 inches by 7 inches, sew a piece of braid trim along the 5 1/2 inch edges. fold to middle and sew across ends. Since it won't ravel, no need to zig-zag. Turn right side out. You could add decorative stitch along opening edges instead of braid. Either way they are more luxurious so we sold these for $4.00 with pack of tissues included. |
Thanks for the tutorial. Your pattern is much easier than the one I currently use.

Wow, this was quick and easy. I would think $2.00 with tissues would be a great selling price. Thanks for the tute!
|
Great idea with the elastic for the car visor!

I did these for church last Christmas and I just made 60 for boxes we are doing for overseas this year. It can really go fast . Some of my children and grandchildren in NC made these when I was there in June.
