Ah ah tissue !


Yes I know I was meant to be sewing my bedroom curtains today (boring ) but how could I ignore the pleas from the local school for a few items for their Christmas stall .

These little tissue holders were so quick and easy and they use up scraps therefore making more room for yes you guessed it more fabric !

If you want to run up a few for Mothers Day or extra little gifts they don't take long at all .


Raid your stash and cut fabric 8"wide x 5"high . Fold the ends in wrong sides facing 1" and press . This is the time to add your extra touch such as ric rac or ribbon . Stitch the folds down .


Lay your stitched piece wrong side down and fold the ends into the centre , press .
Stitch along the short ends about 1/4" .


Turn piece right side out , press and add a small packet of tissues .


Told you they were easy .


Much prettier than daggy plastic packets . Ah ah tissue !
