5 min tissue holder - tutorial

recently volunteered to make some tissue holders for our upcoming mothers day stall at school. I know there are a million tutorials out there...But here's how I make them in 5mins or less.


First cut out four 6" x 4" rectangles. You could make yourself up a template, but I find it just as easy using the rotary cutter.

Next fold 2 of the pieces in half wrong sides together, press. These will be your top.Then lay the other two pieces on top of each other, wrong sides together. These will form the lining and the bottom.

Position the folded pieces onto top and ensure all raw edges match up, pin.

Next sew a 1/2 inch seam all round. I backstitch both openings for strength.

Next clip your corners and trim down to 1/4 inch. Because I'm anal about finishing I then overlock around the raw edge. But using your pinking shears to trim down the edge would work just as well.

Lastly, turn right side out and press.Your done!!!
