If you’re
looking for an easy stocking stuffer or a small table gift for a retreat, these
tissue holders are quick to sew. I
found the tissue packs at the grocery.
There were 8 of them bundled together.
These are great to carry in your purse or to put in a retreat bag along
with your stitching.
Tissue Holder Pattern
(1)
Cut 2 pieces:
1 piece at 5 ½” X 6 ½” (outside of tissue
holder)
1 piece at 5 ½” X 7 ½” (inside and trim strip)
(2)
Put
right sides together and sew along both 5 ½” sides (short sides). (You can see “the hill” in
the
photo because one piece is an inch longer than the other.)
(3)
Turn right side out and press so that your trim
strips are even.
(4)
Fold the
edges into the center as shown in the photo. Sew across short ends.
(5)
Turn
right side out and push the corners out so that they are square.
What I usually do is cut a bunch of inside and outside fabric. Then I chain them through first on one side and then on the other side. I turn them all at once so I can press them all at once. I do the same when sewing the short sides – first sew all of one side and then all of the other side. Then you can turn them and push all the corners out at once.
Until next time......
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
I hope you are finding some time to stitch today.
