Christmas Gifts - Part 2

Details of my Celebration Giveaway can be found here.  Giveaway closes Monday 17th October.

Ok, here is my 2nd project for my Christmas Gifts classes to make:




You've seen me make some of these tissue pouches before.  Once you get the hang of the pattern, they are so quick and easy to make, and a great way to recycle smaller pieces of fabric. 


There is no wadding in these, and you can decorate them how you like.


I like to fill mine with novelty packets of tissues, but I'm finding them hard to come by these days!  I will have to take a trip to a few garden centres to see if I can pick up some funny ones!




These are also the perfect size for storing mobile phones.

I hope to soon have a Christmas Gifts Part 3, when I get more things made, so watch this space!


Have a great day!

  4. How great that you posted this idea today.....

    I just went shopping this morning and bought three of those little packets of tissues wondering if it would be possible to make a cute little pouch for them (incidentally they were 12p each at Home Bargains if you have one near you - really cute ones with pink high heeled shoes on and some bright orange spotty ones!)

    Now I just need to work out how to make the pouches.

  12. Those are adorable!! I like that style much better than the tissue holder pattern I've used in the past. I can't tell from the photos, did you stitch the velcro on, or is it self-sticking?? Great Christams gifts!!
