gesundheit! how to make a fabric tissue box cover

continued from page 1

3 Take pieces A1 and A2 and match them up with right side of fabric facing one another and wrong sides facing out. Using a colored pencil that will show up on your fabric, mark 2 lines as pictured, each ½” down and parallel to the long edge and S” in length.

Sew a straight stitch along each of these two lines.

4 Open the sewn together piece, and iron the seams flat. You’ll have a big rectangle with a gap at the middle. Sew a straight stitch down both seams, as shown.

5 Now take piece B1 and line up its long edge with the long edge of the piece you just finished sewing together. Sew the pieces together, with a 1/2"seam as shown. Go over this seam with a zigzag stitch to reinforce it. Line up piece B2 with the bottom edge of the A1/A2 piece and repeat this step.

6 Iron the seams you just sewed flat, with the seams pointing away from the center.
