:-D :-D :-D :-D An old bag can have some of these made in 10 minutes. I do have an in the hoop one, but cannot write them to the card as my ultmiate box quilt working. These will do just fine. Maybe tomorrow I will try some with zippers. THey'd make great stocking stuffers. Enjoy, Huggies,

Nice!

Can I be on your Christmas list?

Can you share the instructions with us?

yes, please share instructions. I've seen tutorials, but not with binding like yours. They're wonderful!

Cute! How did you do that without the Hoop patter????


I have the in the hoop version of this too. I made my SILS each one so they had tissues on the day we got maried. LOL. They came in handy!

great idea :!:

I made about 60 in one day two years ago - these are definitely going with me to the Green Market in two weeks!

LOL..I love the tissue holders..but what I love the most is a mistake I catch myself doing..I have quilt on my mind so much I can't type "quit" either without slipping that "l" in there lol..cute!!

Those are great. I found a pattern for some, but I like the look of yours much better.

Cute. Great job.

yes lets get a tut on this one

I did not use binding at all Would you beleive it??? Ok you will need two pieces of fabric. The outside piece is 6 1/2" x 5 3/4" The inside piece is 7 3/4" x 5 3/4" Now pin the two pieces together right sides together, they are not going to match as one piece will a little bit longer than the other piece. That's the way it is supposed to be, this is the magic of it. Ok sew the short ends matching the raw edges and then center the outside piece and then press it.Now turn it right sode out. Now fold in the short ends that were just sewn and pressed to the center on the inside piece. It will be the largest piece of fabric and pin. Now sew the the open ends on each side and then you can turn them right side out and you will have a nice tissue case and the magic of the larger piece will look like a binding on it. Enjoy, Huggies, Fay

Love them. I have been wanting to make up a few. Thanks for sharing.

These are really cute, thanks for the instructions!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing it!

Ok, I am not quite following this. :roll: When you say pin the fabrics together, do I center them so that there will be some of the longer piece showing on both ends, or just on one end? Maybe you could show pics of the different steps, if it wouldn't be too much trouble? That would be a big help.

I love these! They're perfect to have my DGD practice on while learning to sew.
Thank you for the tute!

But unfortunately I need a little clarification, please.
when you say "...sew the short ends matching the raw edges and then center the outside piece and then press it."
I'm not sure what you mean by "center the outside piece".
I guess I'm having trouble visualizing it.
Sorry.
I don't want to make extra work for you, but I'd love to see pix to go with the written directions. :D

I'll d oa few pictures after a bit. Take care, Huggies, Fay

Ok here is my tute. You weill need two pieces of fabrics. Outside pieces is 6 1/2" x 5 3/4" and the Inside is 7 3/4" x 5 3/4" Step 2. Place the two fabrics together right sides sides together and pin and sew the short ends. Inside fabric will be longer than the outside piece will be. Step 3. Press the seams and then turn it right side out and press centering the outside piece. Step 4. Fold in the sewn edges to the center and pin and sew the new short ends. Step 5. Turn it right side out and press again and place the tissue inside and you are done! Enjoy. I'll put the steps on the caption of the pictures and sorry they do not do them justice, but you'll get the idea. Huggies, Fay

Great job on the pictures. You should post this in the tutorial section, I think they would make great stocking stuffers.

Now I get it!
Thanks so much for the pics! :thumbup:

Your all welcome maybe a mod can move this to the tute section. I'm tired and the ol' ticker isn't feeling too good this a.m. So I'll go lie down for a spell, Huggies, Fay

Thanks Fay! I'm now running to my machine to try this! They are so cute. I really appreciate the time you took to do this tute! :lol: :lol:

Here's mine.....it was easy. Thanks again.

I use them as "gift card holders" at Christmas time :)

I also pinch the edges on mine so they are the same shape as the kleenex package.

I sold them last year at a local craft fair and give them to teachers with gift cards to Sonic (and the fabric I use has ice cream on it)..

Does the center overlap on yours?

Nadine ~ I just posted another picture without the gift card. They do overlap just a tad...

I have made them . They are easy and a nice gift

The first one I made, I over lapped them, but I found I didn't care for that so it makes no diffrence how you do it, just as long as you like the completed case. Sooooo what ever tickles your fancy, go for it. you can do these like a chain stitch thing like you would in quilting and get a whole mess of them made. Have fun using them scraps pieces amd mixing colors, Huggies, Fay

Glad you are enjoying it,,Nadine..... Nadine is my middle name. I was named after my Aunt who also had the same middle name. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....Huggies, Fay

Nadine was my mother's first name, and it's also my DGDs middle name. I hated it as a kid but I really like it now that I'm an adult.

I've now made 2 more of these. I'm going to make a lot and give them to the little ladies who live at the nursing home where I work. Thanks again.

Fay, I hope you're feeling better. You didn't have to do the photos today for the tute. Take care of yourself first. (((hugs)))

Thank you sew much Fay for the tutorial with the pics. I just wasn't able to visualize what the instructions were saying. But now with the pics, it is all clear. Hugs to you.

Thank you for the instructions for the tissue holders.

Thank you for the tute and pictures. I did not quite understand (senior citizen) but with the pictures I can do this. Thanks for taking the time.

NOW I get it! Thanks for the tute!

PLEASE HELP. When I print this Pocket Tissue
Cases tute I do not get the pictures. Starting with Ok here is my tute, my prineter does not print any of the pictures.

Any help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Lois
