Tissue Cozy Round-Up

Hi! If you're like me, the beginning of Fall is full with crafty possibilities. Kids are back in school, yummy coffee drinks are out in force and you can actually stomach the idea of snuggling up with the sewing machine without your thighs sticking to the chair. I'm going to feature some great crafts for Fall here under the theme "Fall Friendly". Let's not refer to them as "gift-giving" ideas, because that adds all kinds of pressure and may incite a panic-attack. I like to circle the Holidays non-chalantly and then pounce when I'm good and ready. I don't need anyone telling me I'm already behind when I haven't even started yet. You, too? Happy we're on the same page.

School is synonomous with snotty noses and communicable disease. Learning seems to take a back seat when all I want to do is decontaminate them when they walk through the door. I love me some tissue cozies--they're portable, cute and make me feel like I'm doing something (without really knowing if they use them or not). With one in each backpack, desk and purse..I feel armed and ready. Here's some cutie ptootie tutorials out there (just click on the pictures and you'll be on your way!):

A sweet felt-one, perfect for the hand-sewer or kid:

I love this sopisticated one:

These little red cuties would be perfect all year:

And you can never have enough sweet florals. Yum.

Happy Weekend, wherever you may be!

When I clik on the pic, nothing comes up...how do I access the tutorial for the tissue cozy (zippered)?

Thank you for letting me know, Carolee. Typepad deleted all the links! They should work now. Happy sewing!

Thanks for including my tissue cozies in your roundup! I love the zippered version, they look like little sweaters!
