Tissue Cover Instructions

Those of you who have been in my classes know that I give out "goody bags" to all of my students.  Ususally these bags contain purse-sized tissue covers and tissues.  I thought that you might enjoy having the directions for the tissue covers. They really do make excellent gifts for your special friends. They are quick to make and so easy. So, here are the directions:

1. Cut a rectangle 5 ½” by 13 ½”.

2. With wrong sides together, pin the short edges together.

3. Stitch in a ¼” seam backstitching at both ends.

4. Press seam open. Turn the fabric sleeve with the seam to the inside and the right sides outward. Center the seam and press.

5. With the seam facing away from you, fold each side to the middle. Pin across the raw edges.

6. Stitch in a ¼” seam backstitching at both ends. Trim the loose threads and clip each corner.

7. Turn right sides out. Use a point turner to ensure sharp corners. Press flat.

  

8. Stuff with an individual tissue pack.
