Her free Pocket Tissue Pack Tutorial PDF shows you how to create three versions of tissue holders, and features geometric shapes & bright colors of the playful Zoo Menagerie collection from Free Spirit.

Hello Sew,Mama,Sew friends!
What with the holidays approaching, and a handmade gift list that seems to be growing with each passing day, I thought it would be nice to put together one of my favorite last-minute gifts for teachers and friends of my kiddos – a Pocket Tissue Pack. You’ve likely seen them here there and everywhere, and so I was surprised to discover that Sew,Mama,Sew did not have a dedicated tutorial of their own… until now! I’ve put together a Pocket Tissue Pack Tutorial PDF for you guys with step-by-step instructions on how to make 3 versions of tissue holders.
For this month’s fabric focus, I chose to work with four whimsical prints from the Zoo Menagerie collection by Eleanor Grosch for Free Spirit Fabrics. Let me tell you, it was hard to narrow it down – they are all super cute!
Sew,Mama,Sew sent me ¼ yard each of the four prints I chose – Tiger Stripe Multi, Bouncy Balls Purple, Animal Stripe Green, Blossom Green, as well as some of the Natural Essex Linen/Cotton for contrast and lining. And with that bit of fabric, I was able to stitch up 15 tissue holders – and there is still fabric leftover for more. Just imagine what you could do with a fat quarter pack!
As always, I hope you enjoy this month’s project and whip up a bunch of tissue holders for gifts this season. If you make anything with Zoo Menagerie from Free Spirit, or using any of our free patterns and tutorials, please show off your creations in the Sew,Mama,Sew! photo pool. Enjoy and happy making! xoxo

These were a huge hit at Christmas with my family!
I can’t get the pdf either! Please help – I think these would be awesome to make with my daughter who is a new sewer!
adorable! i can’t wait to make these with all my extra fabric.
Is anyone else having trouble downloading this PDF? I can’t get it to open up.

I love the 3 different styles. Maybe a few for Christmas?
I love these! Can’t wait to try this tutorial!
I love these and I found that they are a perfect project for reusing all of the pretty hakies I have collected- a hankie turned tissue holder. If I was better at laundry I would probably use the actually hankie, but, alas.
CUTER and sturdier than the plastic wrap ones I buy at the store. I might make some just to make my life less hectic when I find the plastic pack torn apart at the bottom of a diaper bag or backpack.
I love makng these they make great gifts all year.
I was planning on making a bunch of tissue holders for gifts and I like your style better! Much more modern and fun than the ones with binding. Thanks!
Cute…and love the fabrics!
I love the prints you used
This is seriously awesome! I was wondering what I could make for some small gifts and these are perfect. I just noticed that an 8-pack of travel tissues at my local store is less than two dollars and little pockets to hold them is genius! Thank you.
This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! Love Love Love, I will be making these. Great project, thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!
Oh, i am such a dork. Never mind. I just realized that if you leave the opening for turnIng on a long side, it closes itself when you stitch the sides down. Blush.
What a great and green idea!

Awesome! I need some small gifts for ladies and this will be perfect!
A use for my left over fabric…..hoorah!!
This would be a great teacher gift!
Delightful!
Those are just too cute!
The fabrics are so cute.
I love these and made them a few years ago for EVERYONE on my list. They were a hit! I’m glad there’s a tutorial for them here now!
Very cool. I love little projects, especially at this time of year!
Great idea, love the fabric choices.
I’ve made these before. They are amazing!
Thanks for the tutorial!
These are super. Thank you x 1m.
Can’t wait to use my leftover scraps from all of my Handmade for the Holidays projects!
Thanks – these are adorable and useful!
So cute, and so much prettier than then plastic baggie currently residing in my diaper bag 🙂
This is now on my holiday to do list!
Those are awesome. 🙂
