Tissue holder - "Gifty Project" shown at October Meeting

Here is a little project to make a fabric cover for those little packs of tissues you carry in your purse.

I do realize that having a fabric cover for your purse tissues is completely unnecessary; the little tissues already come in a plastic sleeve! But to me, a project doesn't have to be useful  if it is only made out of scraps.

You can make a tissue holder that matches your purse. Very stylish I'm sure.


There are probably lots of easy ways to make this, but I wanted mine to have no raw edges -- even on the inside. It is not cool if you pull out a tissue and it has threads stuck to it.

Tissue holder                  Cut fabric 6x14”

With RST (right sides together!) sew across 6” ends together to form a loop. Leave a large gap for turning. Turn loop right-side out and flatten, leaving seam side up. Seam should be off-center as shown.

Fold over left and right edges, with slight overlap in th center and iron into place to crease folds well.

Turn loop wrong side out and refold, so that overlapping occurs neatly inside. Side view of the loop below:

Flatten again and sew across each raw edge. Find the turning hole and turn inside out. Flip the flaps to other side.
