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

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

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

Those are freakin' adorable! What a cute gift idea or bazaar item!

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!

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.
