Have been asked to make some little things for our local old peoples home when they have their spring market in September. I have started with some pocket tissue holders. I hope they will sell. There are a dozen here and I would like to make at least another dozen before I start on tea towels. Sarah.

They look very pretty. Here you can only get packets that open at the top, I never tried to sew covers for those. I love yours!

wow I learn something new everyday. We can get them like that too but for the most part they split in the middle with a perforated line. Makes them easier to get one out when needed. Thanks for sharing Martine.

I take the tissues out of the package and put them in the case.

Oh Carolyn - now you have got me. These are a local make "Twinsaver" in S. Africa. The packet tells me that they measure 215mm x 215mm and are 3Ply. Do not know the size of Kleenex I am afraid.

Thank you Karen. Unfortunately I will not be able to go to the market as I will be taking my grandsons to the airport.

Well now, I really like these. The only ones I've seen are zippered tissue cases. How in the world, can you unzip, without getting the tissue caught in the zip?? I like this better, almost looks like a big buttonhole...I like the curvy dots ! Good job,Sarah-Toogie

These are great tissue holders! You might stick a pack of tissues inside one with a little bit sticking out as a "demo" of what they are used for.

I've not had much luck sellling these holders, but then, my weren't as fabulous as yours. Even when I put them out with tissue in them as "free with any purchase" no one took one. Just depends on the clientele. Please let us know how you did! Maybe if mine were prettier like yours, someone would have wanted one.

Hello Lillian. This post is very old but I am just about to make some more for our local retirement home. They have a Fair each September.
