I was thinking about making these for some special teachers. I would have to make about three more sets—so we will have to see if I have the steam. If not I will give these to a friend. They were very quick and easy!
Twelve 22 has a great tutorial on how to make the little pouch. Instructions for the tissue holder can be found at Bell Dia, a beautiful blog. She has a wonderful tea cozy today. I did adapt the instructions for the tissue holder. I used Kleenex sized travel tissues which must be considerably smaller than what she used. I found mine worked if I used fabric and lining each measuring 6 1/2 inches by 7 inches. I used 1/4 seams throughout. The final seams at each end were less than 1/4 inch (a touch more than an 1/8 inch). I also left the opening to turn on the long side —this kept me from having to whip it shut once turned, because it is hidden on the inside.
Those are great teacher gifts!
Those are SO adorable!! where did you find that fabric!?
[...] Do you have a tissue? I ended up mailing my friend’s birthday present in the heart pouch I made and then went on to make 10 travel tissue holders. [...]

I stumbled across your site today and I love it! I have two little girl cousins ages 7 and 8 who love to carry purses. I am going to make them a tote, tissue holder, zippered pouch and crayon roll in matching fabric for their upcoming birthdays. And the purse organizer for me!
Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials!
