To you all that have been making so many of these - what is the correct size?
I have been making some of these from another pattern and I really like this pattern better, but have not made any yet.
Thank you,, Pat
I've been making these for my friend's daughter to raise for funds for their dancing school. I use the size in the original post 5 1/2 x 6 1/2 and 5 1/2 x 7 1/2.
I had templates made by a sign writer for a couple of pounds so I can tell very easily whether or not a scrap is going to fit and speeds up cutting immensely.
The tissues I use are packs of 10 from our Poundshop (Dollar store - which of course here, is $1.60, lol). The tartan holder has tissues in it.
