TED & Bobble . Tissue holder tutorial and a bow tie.

Im so sad as its time for Ted & Bobble to leave me to another lovely lady. To make our last night special we made a tissue holder tutorial ( of course tears will be involved tomorrow) and Ted got a little bow tie to match to add to his building wardrobe. 
Ted is very proud of his work.

Now for the tutorial,you will need :
40 cm of fabric (If you want to add contrast like me, use two)
Thread & needle
Scissors
Sewing machine( optional)
2 buttons

Cut 2 square of 17.5 cm and sew a quilter foot around leaving a gap to turn
Turn right sides out  and hand sew the gap and press. Then use decortive stitches on the borders. I like using the edge of the foot as guidance.

Measure 5 cm both sides, mark and sew a knot by hand to hold it in place.

Fit the tissues and sew the buttons on the wrong side as they will close the tissues box for you.

  2. I'm gona have a go at making this and as you know I am a complete beginner!! Silly question but what is a quilters foot? And would it be ok to use a thick raw silk material instead?

  3. Hun, I don't recommend using silk or floaty fabrics because they don't press well.

    I sent you a photo of a quilters foot on twitter xx
