    I cut WOF strips of both fabrics and sewed them together on both sides, then turned the tube right side out and pressed. Then I cut the individual pieces and sewed the sides on my serger chain style, cut them apart, turned the holder right side out and voila! The outside piece (black & white) is cut 7 1/2" and the lining (red) is cut 6 1/4", then the strip is subcut to 5 3/4".

    I also made several of these tissue holders (not 250). They were fun to make. I made them from scraps that I already had. I gave them away to friends and their friends before Christmas. People are still asking me for them, and want to pay me. Can hardly charge friends or friends of friends, can I?
