Tissue Holder

If you are like me, regularly carries tissue in your handbag and don't want to buy the expensive pocket tissue packs, you would love to know how to quickly sew your very own tissue holder in less than 10 minutes! You can use the regular facial tissue that comes in a box. You can wash your tissue holder too. Cut 2 pieces of scrapes, top measure 5 1/2 x 7 inch, and lining measures 5 1/2 x 8 inches; Right side together and aligh the short ends, sew at 1/4 inch from the edge; Turn right side out and press, centered; Fold to center, pin and sew at 1/4 inch from the edge at the top and bottom, reinforce your stitches when in the middle; Trim cornors and turn right side out; This tissue holder can hold about 8 tri-fold regular tissue. I like it so much, and in no time, I sewed my second one! ;)
