Travel-sized Tissue Cozy Tutorial
To read the original blog post about the “Share the Love!” campaign and the tissue cozies, go HERE.
Push those seam allowances towards the outside edges as you iron, it’ll give your cozy a little extra structure and stability.
An easy way to find the center is to fold it in half (accent strips parallel) and finger press yourself a guideline down the middle. Then open your cozy-2-be and fold in each side to the finger pressed line.
To get to those corners, poke your finger inside your cozy-2-be and poof out the corner. Then fold your corner so your seamline is at a 90 degree angle to the opening and you have a right nice look to it (it’s all guess-and-by-golly here, but it’ll work out, trust me!)

Love the idea! Love the project! Very addicting. I plan to make many and spread your great idea! Thanks so much!
Thank you thank you! I’ll post the link to your blog tomorrow. (And yes, very addicting! But isn’t ALL of quilting addicting? I just got my daughter started this year and I told her I felt like a drug dealer getting her hooked *g*)
I look forward to trying this out with some of my left over fabric pieces! I see in your profile that you live in the PNW. I am currently in Bellingham, WA. Thanks for the fun idea!
Thank you! May I call you Wart for short? (oooo, bad pun!) Yes, I live deep in the PNW, east of Chehalis. Bellingham is sooo beautiful. I’ve been up there for a conference and got to see whales spouting off for the first time there. So cool!
Kim, I made 17 last night! Consider yourself successful at getting another addict. I’m going to post what I made and provide a link on my blog. This is just too much fun! I can’t wait to start sharing them. With gratitude, Karen

Great idea to help us all prevent the flu in a colorful and cheerful way. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
Love the tissue cozies, have been trying to think of some way to contribute to our retreat in May I think I can make one for each goodie bag….great idea…
