Tissue Pack Covers - Thank you, Renee!

Renee from Living my Dream posted her latest project - which was a tissue pack cover. The tutorial can be found here.

I purchased a new sewing machine a few weeks ago and have promised myself I'd sew something every day so I can get more comfortable using the machine (which I LOVE!!). The tissue covers sounded like the perfect, quick project for a Sunday.

Renee - you've created a monster - HA! They are so FUN and EASY and so darned CUTE!! (Thank you ever so much for the link to the tutorial).

I found pieces of "Beach Lady" fabric and made one. Then I had to make another. I had some gold metallic material with an Egyptian theme (no, I have no idea why I bought it in the first place) and made another one. Here they are:

I had to stop myself from making more, I've got other things that need my attention. But, I can assure you, I'm making MORE!  Exchange partners, BEWARE - HA!

    These are darling! Your fabrics are both perfect. The men in my house kind of chuckled at the idea of tissue-pack covers, but I love they way they dress things up. :) I am so glad you had fun making them. Like you, I will be making more soon!

    Thank you for the link - these are such fun! My poor tissues look bare now in my bag. My sewing machine and I are not on good terms at the moment but when we are I will definitely be making one of these!

    Nana Tissues!! My Nana always had a pack of tissues in her pocket which would fit into these little cases. You could also use them for sanitary products or even a little notebook.
