Welcome my new friend Crystal from the blog Little Bit Funky! Crystal has a fun blog and a great Etsy shop, also called Little Bit Funky, full of goodies. Go visit and shop for some of those Christmas gifts before the madness sets in. And it will set in. Take it away dear!
I am a mom to two, wife to my one and only and a daughter of Christ. I love to sew and create and blog and share. I am real and honest and genuinely care. And apparently I can rhyme, too. 🙂 I love to laugh and think I’m pretty funny. I have an addiction to fabric, ribbon and pretty things that I have no intention of getting help for. I’m thankful to be living a downright dreamy life after all I have lived through. God is good. All the time. Love the messy. Love the beautiful.
Thanks for letting me participate!

And for a little smaller project, here’s how to make a tissue cozy:
1. Start with four rectangles of fabric of your choice, each measuring 5 1/4in by 4in.
2. Lay two of the pieces together, wrong sides together, putting the piece that you want facing OUT (this will be the bottom piece of the cozy) on top.
5. Make sure that the two folded sides are flush with each other. 6. I like to trim around the edges to make it nice and neat. Then turn it inside out…or outside in.

THANK YOU for the PERFECT teacher gifts! I’ll be making some of these this weekend!

Yay a twofer! These are so cute and easy. And I’m a freak, I guess, but I love putting in zippers much better than buttons and buttonholes.

Trish @TheOldPostRoad says
Edie – Love all these ideas you are sharing! Could you make it “24 days” or “30 days” of handmade instead?

That bag is so cute! And your fabric is wonderful. I have made several of the tissue covers; they are quick, easy and fun!
Thank you for sharing with this series; I’d hoped to do something similar myself and this has been very inspirational!

Jessica says
ok…i not only found the zipper foot but i tried it for the first time!!! not scary at all…..however, i am stuck at the part where i “fold the zipper into a V shape” before i sew all the sides….help!
Tricia says
I made two tissue cozies yesterday. As a sewing novice, it felt pretty good. I’m going to make them for Christmas gifts. I also started the zippered bag. That is a bit more challenging for me, but I’m doing it. Thanks for sharing these!
Katie says
Thanks for the great tute with all the pictures! It makes me feel like maybe I could make a zipped bag:) I’ve made a tissue pouch like that before, only with felt so it saved a few steps. I think I’ll try with fabric this year. Great gift idea!
Trudy says
This is a great tutorial. Several friends will be getting gorgeous little pouches from me for Christmas. I’ve made one for my son’s girlfriend as a birthday gift and have tucked a pretty little bracelet inside. Thanks so much for sharing!
