Kleenex Holder - Quick Sewing Project

Designed to hold those travel size packages of Kleenex, these are perfect for purses, backpacks or stashed in the car. This quick pattern only takes about 10 minutes from start to finish! My life-long friend Michelle shared this pattern with me. I like to make four to six of them at a time.

Supplies: 

• 2 coordinating small pieces of fabric
• Basic sewing supplies: sewing machine, coordinating thread, pins
• Scissors or rotary cutting supplies
• Ruler
• Iron

STEP ONE: Cut (1) 6" x 7" piece of fabric. This is the outside fabric. Cut (1) 6" x 8.5". This is the lining and forms the accent edge in the center.

 STEP 2: With right sides together, sew the 6" sides together using 1/4" seams. Flip right side out and press. Even the excess lining fabric so that about 1/4" shows on each side.

STEP 3: With the outside facing up, fold one side down about 1.5 inches and the other up to meet it. Sew the sides making sure to backstitch well over the edges of the opening.

STEP 4: Form a mitered corner by sewing a seam 3/8" from the corner. Repeat for all four corners. Trim the excess fabric at the corners. Flip right side out and press corners out. And that's it! You are finished!

 Happy Crafting!
