Travel Tissue Holder

Today, I'm sharing my latest sewing project, a travel tissue holder. 

I found lots of tutorials on the internet and on Pinterest, plus

 Claire of Beautiful Things has also posted YouTube instructions HERE
which I used as a guide.

I used the same set of fat quarter fabric as the zipped cosmetic bag I made
last week HERE, which I bought recently from Aldi's when they were reduced in price.

A Quilted, Lined, Zipped Cosmetic Bag

I’m back today sharing my latest sewing project, which is a very basic quilted, lined,
 zipped cosmetic bag. I can't seem to stop quilting things since making my first 

quilted boxes HERE and HERE. 

I found various tutorials on YouTube to follow, and apart from sewing (and unpicking)

one of the linings on the outside of the bag instead of the inside, I really enjoyed

making this bag.

The fabrics are from one of two sets of fat quarters I bought recently from
Aldi's when they were reduced.

They're not the best quality in softness of material, but are certainly ideal for me 

to use to practise on. I am planning on making a box style cosmetic bag soon.
