My sister-in-law and I teach several days of mini-quilt classes at a major juried fair here in WV in the summer....this is one of the classes I taught this past summer. I had rank beginners, children....and we even hand-sewed them and they turned out beautifully. I purchased bulk packets of tissues so they could use their tissue holder right away. At home I sew them on the machine and turn out ten at a time. I layer at least 4 fat quarters and make the 2 cuts so I have a good mix of fabrics. This tute was bookmarked early on...I knew it was a winner!

Somewhere is a pattern for a tissue cover that uses 5 pieces of fabric. I though that sounded too hard when I first heard it. But it's almost as easy as this one and a fun change of pace after making over 300 of these.
NOW, I'm using the same method to make mug rugs. I'm going to see what comes up if I google 5 piece tissue holder.

This site has one of the 5 piece tissue covers. Patterns too. They are a lot faster than they sound like they'd be.

These are soooo easy. I've made many, many & tried to use up my stash of lace, ribbon, trim, etc. to ladies I attend church with. Usually send them a postcard but am now sending them a postcard + 1 of these.

Try again. It's actually pretty simple.
