Travel Tissue Case

I've done a couple of crafts in the past few weeks and like an idiot forgot about taking pics until I was finished.  That's okay, because it's pretty easy to get tutorials and all the info you need to do them online.  The first is basically a little pouch to carry a pack of travel tissues in.  For those of you who carry them around, you know how beat up the plastic packaging and tissues themselves can get.  

This is a pretty simple project, whether you're an avid sewer or not.  I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like setting up my sewing machine for something so quick and small, so I did it by hand.  Each line I sewed, I double backed on, eliminating gaps, to give the stitching a more even, professional look.  Even doing, essentially, twice the amount of stitching, and ironing (very important step!), sewing up a strip of fabric instead of using ribbon, and including an interfacing layer, it took me less than an hour.  With a machine, it'll probably take 5-10 minutes.  

You can simply Google something similar to "tissue case pattern" and get half a dozen patterns or tutorials on cases like this or other variations.  The one I based mine on came from here.
