Thank-you so much for the wonderful tutorial!!!! I decided to make these for all the ladies in the Bible studies I facilitate. THEN I decided that why just give them one made of Christmas fabric, they should have one to use after the holidays! So I've made 60, they are indeed fast. I'd cut the pieces, then I chain sewed all the pieces, then I chain pressed, then chained sewed the overcast and turned them while watching TV.
I found the packets of tissue that open at the top at our Dollar Tree...eight packs for a dollar. Even if you cannot find the slit at the top tissues, why couldn't you just make a little slit at the top yourself?
