    So now she has a 'Tissue catcher/coaster'. I used a 4" tile, for the coaster (which took some thought, as to how I could make it work). Plus I shortened the straps, she had pinned up the straps on the old one.

    Here is a picture on one that I use in my sewing room (one with the stripes on the inside) and her new one
    If you look at the bag on the left if she has shorten the strips a little and used some hoop and loop
    we found that worked very well. instead of haveing a flat spot for a drink we put the patted spin cousin there and also had the animal. I will try and show you. also looking at the bag you put the tubeing on the inside of the bag as close as you can.

    Great idea, love it

    Just one question though....how do you keep the opening staying round and not flop over?

    Do you have a pattern for this? Or a picture, it sounds adorable and what a conversation starter at a workshop.
