15 minutes Tissue Box Cover Sewing Tutorial
I had no plans on making this tutorial at all. My sewing project list is crammed with gazillion other ideas. The thought of making this tissue box cover came to me in the morning while I was getting ready for my class. I realized how ugly the napkins were looking wrapped up in the plastic, adding no beauty to the room. And I thought to myself, “hmm this needs to be tackled after the class.” I came home and after a quick nap whipped up this cover in less than an hour with all the recording and then the pictures. It felt really good to do a quick project after sewing 5 bags in one month.
Oh, and I also tried Canadian smocking for the first time. You can see the results on this Facebook post. I’m truly, madly, deeply in love.
My very first attempt at Canadian smocking. Loving how it turned out. It’s not at all difficult as it looks from outside. Now I can sleep in peace. G’night y’all. ??
