I have several sewing projects that needs to be done… maybe not needs too, but I really should make/finish them. I’ve few tote bags I crocheted and loomed that need linings and other sewing too. I enjoy designing and sewing. I don’t know why I procrastinate about it so much. I put my projects in a large tote bag along with the notions needed to complete them.
I decided to do a project that I’ve talked about for a few years. I wanted to make a small tissue holder to fit in my purse or pocket. The plastic small tissue packages are fine, but not really economical. I can fold tissues from a regular size box and put them in the pouch and save a few cents. I also wanted a small back pocket for cough drops and maybe a bit of money.
It took me around an hour and a half to design and make the thing. I think of it as a protype. Now that I’ve worked out my pattern, I have a few adjustments to make for the next one.
But all-in-all, I’m quite happy with this one.
Now on to the next project in the tote.
Wishing you all success in your Summertime plans.
*Just a quick note here. It’s not important, but I wanted to add in that the checked fabric is a lovely green check instead of the blue color in the photo. I couldn’t get my phone to pick up the color right.

Pretty things that are also functional are the best, I always say. 🙂 Love the tissue holder, E.C., and hope you get good use out of it.
