Tissue Box Cover With Pockets

11/2/2017

 A tissue box cover is one of my absolute favorite things to sew and then give away.  They are really easy because all of the fabric cuts are rectangles. If you can sew a straight line, you should be able to create as many different varieties you want.  There are many patterns on the internet.  I decided to add pockets to my cover because I always seem to have small items near my bed or couch.  I thought the pockets would be a great way to keep up with small things. If you move your box of tissues to another room, all of your stuff moves with it!

I designed this one for one of my favorite people and as you can see they live in Louisiana.  So an applique with the state was a great way to personalize.  These covers would be an awesome gift for any time of year.  You could use the seasons, hobbies, monograms or professions. I mean really the possibilities are endless.  Tissues are kind of universal.

I have a download below with the measurements and several color photos showing my process.  The seam allowance is an exact 1/4 inch. That is the only thing that I would advise you to stick to. When you make your cuts, anything more and the cover probably won't slide on the box. You may want to measure your brand of tissue and make sure the measurements will work for you just in case. I tend to buy whatever brand is on sale and haven't had any issues but you never know.

My receiver had a little extra "Lagniappe" tissue holder. I sewed a quick personal cover that they can either keep in a separate area of their home or in their car.  I used the flannel material from the applique for the inside of the cover.  Like I said this is a wonderful universal gift.  They don't take long to sew either. If you are looking for a project to donate to your local retirement homes this would be fantastic. Also, your dentist, veterinarian, doctor, hairdresser etc would love to have something like this. If you have embroidery software and can personalize for their business, they will be thrilled.
