Pocket Tissue Holder
Here is a quick and simple gift to make, a pocket tissue holder.
All you need is two pieces of fabric 6 1/2″ X 7″ each.
With right sides together stitch 1/4 inch from the edge all around the outside of the fabric. Leave about 1-2″ opening on the LONG side for turning.
Turn and press. Make sure to press the opening to the inside.
Bring short edges to the middle. Place the fabric you want on the outside in the inside.
You can choose whether to meet the edges exactly in the middle (left picture) or overlap the edges by about 1/4 of an inch (right picture)
Stitch 1/4 inch from the edge along each end.
Turn right side out and fill with your pocket tissues. I put a slit down the center of the plastic packaging on my tissues so they were easy to remove.
You could easily make a ton of these assembly style. They would make great little party favors, teacher gifts, thank you gifts or just to give someone a little something!
If you would like a cute way to package your handmade gift you can download the Pillow Box Template. Print on colored or printed cardstock, cut on solid lines, lightly score on all dotted lines, bring flap to opposite side and glue flap to inside and then fold in the ends. Add a pretty bow and you’re done!

Wonderful! I always make a little gift for my wedding clients and these are just perfect for brides, sisters and mothers of the bride and groom. The fact that I can coordinate to the wedding colors and make many of these in one sitting is a huge bonus!

This is absolutely great. I made several covers with a Simplicity pattern before I found your tutorial. I made one with your instructions and it was so much easier and quicker. Thank you.

I love this! I think even I could make it. I just found some fabric at the thrift store, but it isn’t near as cute as your fabrics. Where did you get them?
Thanks for the tutorial.
