    How fun though! I just happened to be making more of these to sell stuff anyard sale with other items I've made, which seem to be piling up, so I need to do something with them. I had a new pack of these tissues, and they happened to have the opening on the top. So perfect timing I came upon this video too, after wstching the previous one.

I also think it will be great to put my asthma pump in and hang on the outside of my bag so it's easier to find instead of digging for ages in my handbag. 😂

    How do you use the green snap/grommet setter in the background? Does it have different attachments? I recently received the exact same one from a friend but not sure how to use the different attachments and what to use it for. Thank you for filming your videos and the excitement you bring to the sewing world.

  • @susanneb8481
    @susanneb8481 3 месяца назад +2

    Thanks Christine for all your thoughts, but you just have to take the tissues out of the packaging to solve the problem. This also makes the using much easier because 2 packagings are not needed. 🤔

    • @EricaSews88
      @EricaSews88 3 месяца назад +1

      Then your touching the tissues with your hands and I wouldn't use the tissues to my face after being handled by any person. I say leave in packet more hygienic.

    • @ChristinesHomeAffairs
      @ChristinesHomeAffairs  3 месяца назад

      That's a perfect solution when the tissues are your own, but when selling them, I have to keep them sealed for hygiene reasons😁

  • @EileenSpeakman
    @EileenSpeakman 3 месяца назад

    . I've used front slit opening tissue holders before. I just slit the front of the tissue pack right up the front. The tissues are very easy to grasp and they come out cleanly. Will give the top opening pouch a go, probably no difference in it? E❤

    An easier way to box the corners on these tissue pouches is to insert the unopened package of tissues while the pouch is turned inside out. The corners can be pinched the exact amount. I put a wonder clip on each corner and sew the seam to box the corners.
