quick handmade gift

Once again, time was running out, and I needed some cute gift for my girlfriends... I already gave them little pouches and lingerie bags, so I had to come up with something different: purse tissue cover!

I was inspired by this tutorial,  I changed it a little, I used 6.5 x 6.5 for the top, and 6.5 x 7.5 for the lining, with a 1/4 inch seams allowance at the first step, and 1/2 inch on the second step. I also changed from meeting in the middle (hedgehog) to overlapping on the 2 other ones.

I finished the seams inside for the top and bottom, I cannot leave raw edges! I chose a variety of prints for my various girlfriends... the roses are for my friend who has a weakness for Laura Ashley dresses, the flower one is a print that I love using (like on this bunny!) and the hedgehog is for a young modern lady.


Happy sewing!
