Should I use interfacing for a tissue holder?

Yes! Interfacing will make the tissue holder sturdy and durable. Also, if you ever have to wash it, it won’t get all wrinkled so you won’t have to iron it.

Instructions

Cut the outer fabric to be 5.5 inches by 6.5 inches. Cut the lining fabric (and contrasting edge) to be 5.5 inches by 7.75 inches. Cut the fusible interfacing to be 5.5 inches by 6.5 inches.

Iron the interfacing to the back of the outer fabric.

Pin the short ends of each rectangle right sides together. Sew the seams with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

Turn it right side out.

The lining is a little bigger than the outer fabric. Center the outer fabric with a little bit of lining showing on each side. The seam allowance should be pointing away from the center inside the contrast edges. Press it in place so the contrast shows on each side and the seam allowance is inside the contrast.

Stitch in the ditch along each contrast edge to secure the folds.

Fold the holder in half matching the contrast edges so that you can find the center. Finger press folds into the center.

Fold the holder with the outer fabric right sides together. The contrast edges will fold into to meet at the center fold. Pin the unfinished edges in place.

Sew each short side with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

Finish the seam edges with either a zigzag stitch or a serger.

Turn it right side out. Carefully poke out the corners.

Get your travel tissue package and pull the opening open before putting it inside the tissue holder.

Slide the tissue package inside the tissue holder with the tissue opening facing the opening of the holder. You finished!
