aaa....aaa...aaAATISSSUE holder

lol...sorry again about the pun-tastic title..hehe i love it

So i had some off-cuts of the peg apron material left over, so made a quick tissue holder also for the little mama for mother's day. There are a million tutorials online for this but just in case you need another one, this is what i did...
..
Cut 1:
- cotton lining fabric 7" x 7"
Cut 2:
- outer fabric 7" x 4" (i did one polka dot and one gingham)
..
Click on this link or on the picture below to see simple visual steps for tissue holder.

Instructions
1. Sew the two 7" x 4" pieces together (with 0.5" seam allowance on each) to form a square of 7" x 7".
2. Place this outer fabric piece, right sides together, on top of the lining square and sew right the way around, leaving a little gap for turning.
3. Turn right way out and sew gap closed.
4. Fold 2 edges into the centre (lining fabric outward) and seam at top and bottom edge.
5. Turn right side out and put in your tissues!

I added two lines of ric-rac at step 4, and here it is....
