You can make these in 5 minutes, or less if you chain piece. Great way to use up your scraps.

cut main fabric 6 1/2 x 5 1/2, lining 7 1/2 x 5 1/2
[ATTACH=CONFIG]169767[/ATTACH]

you need two pieces of fabric, one main piece and one for the lining
[ATTACH=CONFIG]169768[/ATTACH]

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
[ATTACH=CONFIG]169773[/ATTACH]

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

Thanks so much for this! I am going to try it right away! It looks so easy. I am always on the lookout for easy items to sew to sell at our annual hospital sale (hope that's OK?). What would you charge (out of curiosity)??

cjomomma 03-14-2011 12:03 PM

I made some of those. They are so quick and easy.

I have no idea, not much, doesn't take much fabric or time to do.

Love these. I make one to match each of my purses.

Yikes, I have been surfing the internet and prices being charged for this are a little crazy....anywhere from $5 to $8 (which has some quilting)
Here's an example!

I am very happy to see your tutorial. I am anxious to practice your pattern. These would be such perfect little gifts, stocking stuffers, door prizes, etc. Thank you.

Laura22 03-14-2011 02:36 PM

Sew cute :) I love how you did the lining wider so it created a piped effect :)

agdetrick 03-14-2011 03:32 PM

I am adding this as a keeper, too!

Thank you so much that looks like something really easy and would make nice gifts.

Yooper32 03-15-2011 02:31 AM

What a neat idea and great tute. I think maybe even I could do this in one days time. Don't laugh, yesterday, I spent the entire day making a pot holder and didn't get it done. Everything that could...did.

Cuddly Quilter 03-15-2011 02:40 AM

WOW this is very clever - i had to go back twice and read as i could not understand where your "BINDING" was :) only to click that it was the inner piece. Excellent.

Lovely quick birthday gifts. Going to make and stash for an emergency. :thumbup:

Candy Apple Quilts 03-15-2011 02:57 AM

I have GOT to make some of these! Thank you for the great idea! :D :-D :-D

obie2 03-15-2011 03:43 AM

Thanks so much for the pattern. I am going to make a bunch for my give-away bag.

kathymarie 03-15-2011 04:01 AM

I can't wait to try these....how nice to coordinate them to wallets, purses, totes, etc....thanks so much.

Calzo 03-15-2011 04:14 AM

Thanks for the tut. I think I'll make some tonight.

Donna H-M 03-15-2011 04:15 AM

Anywhere. They are cheap at Walgreens. Get the store brand.

I too have a pattern/directions for these, but I also like yours better, with the little "trim" on the top. We sold these are our church sale for $2.00 each.

quiltqueen61 03-15-2011 04:48 AM
