Kleenex Box Cover

For one of my daughter's Young Women Personal Progress Project she is stitching Kleenex Box Covers out of plastic canvas for our church building. They are turning out so beautiful. Here is one done-only 1 more to go!


The pieces to be stitched together. Top: 34 squares x 62 squares, (2) long sides: 25 squares x 62 squares, (2) short sides:25 squares x 34 squares.


After putting it all together I sprayed Scotch Guard( at Walmart) to protect it. Pin It

Carry Along {Stitching Bag}

I was inspired the other day at my Parenting class. This woman had used the plastic bags (used for bed sheets) to put her knitting project in. I then realized it would be perfect for my hand embroidery supplies. If I know I'm going to be somewhere I could do it then I just grab my personalized Stitching Bag.

1-BEFORE . . .


2-Punch holes in the top (for "handle") to insert scrapbooking eyelets. Cut a piece of thin twine (mine was 20").


3-Cut your desired color of fabric strips into 1" x 7". You can trim later if there is too much excess.

4-Tie each strip into a double know onto the twine.


5-When finished with all the fabric strips then put the twine thru the eyelets and tie a knot on the underside.


6-Your "handle" is complete.


7-It had an inside pocket so I made my own "label".


8- AFTER. . . . Happing Stitching(or yarning)! Pin It
