Be aware ~ I like to chat and probably repeat myself over and over, (and stutter sometimes), and if this annoys you, then view elsewhere - but, if patient, you hopefully will learn a new method or technique! Today's tutorial ~ Sweet fabric tissue box tutorial
Come and visit my at my Etsy shop!

love that you screw up too, so I am not the only one, so many videos out there they all seem perfect, but you showed it as it is that is what I loved about it. You also made me laugh, will try out your box I have the grommets already.
Oh perfection is SO SO overrated!!! LOL! Gotta be able to laugh at ourselves!
Can hardly wait to make Your delightful!
Aw thank you Bonnie! ;) Thank you for taking time to watch me:)
That giant grommet is genius!
Thank you Patricia:)
Great tutorial! Thank you
You are so welcome Karen!:) Thanks for watching:)
Thanks, great instructions. I made two!
Glad it helped! And THank YOU:)
Love it Jean.\
Thanks Margaret! :)
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what your new tutorial was for...I say this because this was my first sewing project I ever made that was not clothing for my girls. There was a pattern from McCall's or Simplicity, must have been in the late 1980s or early 1980s maybe...the only difference was that the tissue box acted as the body of a cat and you would attach a stuffed tail on the back and a stuffed head and paws on the front...memories lol. Thank you for sharing this😀
Aw such a lovely memory! Thank YOU for sharing that! :)
Great job as usual. The fabric is so pretty. You have great ideas, Jean. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.
Thanks Colleen ~ so many ideas in my head just bursting to get out! :)
Oh, Jean, you make life so much fun! Once again, I was laughing so hard I was crying (like I think so many people do as well). And those curtain grommets, what a brilliant idea! Thank you, once again for your efforts in teaching this old dog some wonderful new tricks. You bring a lot of sunshine into these cold winter days.
Bonnie Lee!!! I gave a HUGE shout out to YOU!!!!! It was all your idea!! LOL!! I just love these grommets...they are like magic...cool finished holes Just Appear!!!! :)
I thank you for taking the time to perfect this.... we truly do appreciate that... Love it especially the grommet! GB
You are so very welcome! I appreciate you appreciating me!!! :)
Girl.. I love your energy! Your personality is perfect! 🌸🧚♀️🙌🏻
Thank you so much!!

Thank you for watching! :)
I can't wait to try these covers. Thanks for making this tutorial.
Thank you so much! :) They are so cut ~ and practical! :)
This was the BEST tutorial! I will be making some of these. Thanks for being YOU and your helpful and bubbly self!
Great video. Love watching you. Your so funny
So pleased you enjoy my videos - just me being me! :)
Jean. I'm so excited. I made one of these today and have another one ready to sew. lolLove it.
How wonderful are you!?!?!? LOL! You go! Aren't they fun!??!
I love your videos and this one doesn’t disappoint! We sew the same...I go through several prototypes before I get it just right!
Thank you:) - Practice makes Patience:) LOL!
Thanks again Jean, what a lovely tutorial. I've got a million miles of fabric, now just need some grommets, and I'm in to it !!
lol fire sale. I am going to have to have a fire sale on the pillow covers you taught me how to make, I made 20 or more by now and gave 12 away...and still want to make more! The type with the fold over back so you can remove the pillow inside ...that one. Now, I think everyone will be getting tissue box covers! :D Thanks for always being fun to watch. Your friend, Carol
Oh dear! I've created a monster ~ a pillow making/tissue box creator monster!!! YIKES !!!! :)
lol yes you did!
Jean you are sew entertaining. Lol. I can picture using seasonal fabrics. Love it.
That would be a great idea! :) For the downstairs powder room or guest room! :)
Wow so cute. You made me laugh all those seam rippers. You sure
make these videos fun to watch. Thank you🌷
What’s a fantastic idea. You are so talented. I have used grommets in tote bags, but never thought about on a tissue box. You have such great projects. Can;t wait for the next one. Keep us the good work!!
This was the first time my using grommets..I'm obsessed!! LOL! I want to Grommet-fy EVERYTHING!!! LOL!! Thanks for watching and following along! :)
Hi Jean, surely appreciate the time you took to teach this tissue box craft. I didn’t use the gromet, nor the interfacing and using a piece of tag board paper for the top. It turned out great and cant wait to make more!!
Glad it was helpful! I made a bit of a song and dance making this...but as I say - "I get there in the end!" LOL!
🤣 never know when you might need a free motion quilting foot at the office. Jean I just love you to pieces. I soooo wish we lived near each other and I could come to one of your tea parties.
I really should start doing 'Take Two' of my videos!!! :)
Just started watching this video.i haven't laughed this hard in a long time . It took me a min. To get what you said,I rewound and I was right you did say."your pill head friend" cant wait to see the rest of this video!!!!! Just had to text this !

GREAT😍😍😍kiss from Florence ⚜️ Tuscany Italy 🇮🇹
Thank you to Italy!!:)
Great tutorial!
Thank you very much! :)
Love to watch you..lots of enthusiasm and just love your energy.... and I will always think of Goldilocks as i watch your tutorials. Thank You
HaHa!! Thanks for watching! :)
A very nice project. I dont have the interfacing you talk of, but I would use Fusable Bosal on the piece of fabric, as the box it is going on is going to keep the shape anyway, and bosal helps to keep shape.
Sounds great!
I would make the pocket 3/4 the size of the square on that side so it would get caught in the hem. Love this tutorial btw.
Yes, good idea! I think on my last attempt I got it close!
Great video Jean!! Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks John! Have a lovely end of year and hopefully wonderful holidays! :)
you're so funny Jean, saying 'you can make eight, why you would want to I don't know'....lol
Seriously....LOL! Why would you?!?!? LOL!
Love it l really like the crafts you make.
Thanks Rose! :)
I have Crocheted a tissue box cover that holds my crochet hooks , scissors, sew needle, measure tape , ruler, small note pad and pen . I am trying to figure out how to send you a picture of this but I don’t know how to access my camera. I sure could use some of Maxwells computer expertise right now . I may have to try and send it on FB . I am so tech challenged lol 😂 would love to show you this cover . I made several for friends and for gifts.
If and when you figure out your camera, you can send me pics to: Truelovequilsforyou@gmail.com
By golly I think I got it . I sent an email with pictures . I am thinking of making a quilted one to hold seam ripper , small scissors, marking pen/pencil, reading glasses , measuring tape . All the things you need close to you and a few clips on a ribbon . Where the loop is. That holds markers or pins . What do you think ?
This is a great idea, would make a wonderful gift. You are a clever girl Jean thank YOU!
Thanks Suni!! :)
Jean, I am laughing with you. Your new name might be Goldilocks, tried three times!
Never knew I needed a tissue box cover! But I do now
Sent with love and laughter

RIght?!?!? How did you ever get along without these tissue box covers?!?!? LOL!! I mean, the End of The World is coming if you don't make one!!! LOL!!! LOL!! Silly silly!
Watching you I thought of 2 ways to revise this into a plastic bag holder..put a long strap to hang or no hole in bottom add handle use on machine etc to catch scraps.
Super idea!! I need you in my sewing room! :)
Good👌
Why thank you!
I don't use interfacing or peltex. It looks great without it and saves a lot of time.
I found grommets at Walmart for $5.78
OOoooo....that's good to know!
Off topic but I wanted to ask you about your shelving for your fabric. I finally got all my fabric wrapped on comic board cards (took me a week) and now I need shelving. I remember you saying you sons built them for you but where did you get the materials? Are these already made units that you just put together or are they custom cut for your space?
Congrats for wrapping all your fabric! Isn't it rewarding? These shelves are from the Home Depot. They are prefinished melamine (sp?) 11 1/2" wide with the bull nose edging. They come in 8 foot lengths. We used steel "L" brackets on the underneath side (screwed upwards) and affixed to the wall into studs. Very very easy and quick because there really is no major cutting (if you have a large wall) and there is absolutely no painting or finishing. My husband did space them about every 12 inches or so for the fabric cardboard/books and magazines to stand vertical. He also used several smaller vertical cuts to really firm up the shelves. I adore them and have them around every wall in my room!! :)
Yes it’s very rewarding. And thank you so much for the shelving information. I will be getting on this project right after Christmas
Oh and on the ends to enclose them is that just another piece of the shelving material to keep your fabric from falling off the sides
Jean Truelove ok I went back and watched your sewing room tour again (should have done that in the first place instead of you having to repeat yourself in a reply lol) And I see what your husband did on the sides and the small bits you are talking about to beef up the shelves. I love, love, love, your fabric storage. I cannot wait to get organized, it’s been really stressing me out. All this started with me being gifted all that beautiful fabric and I had it stored in totes at my daughters house in an upstairs bedroom that wasn’t used. I finally decided after almost a year to get it all to my house so I knew what I had instead of buying more all the time. In the meantime I purchased a new sewing machine (now that was very stressful. I told everyone it was worse than buying a new car). Now that I have everything here I could possibly need for sewing and quilting ( I will always by fabric and thread but you know what I mean), I’m ready to get everything into place. Unfortunately the room I’m using for sewing is my sunroom which I love all the natural light, but I have too many windows and not enough wall space, so my plan is to use the spare bedroom for my fabric storage where I have enough wall space for shelving. It’s probably better that way anyway so my fabric will not be exposed to a lot of direct sunlight like it would in the sunroom. I have a cabinet maker friend that is recovering from surgery so when he’s up and at em he will build me a cabinet for my sewing machine to fit into and I’m thinking maybe a good size surface on the other side for a cutting area like you have set up behind your machine so it can accommodate quilts while I’m quilting. It’s exciting planning all this but stressful too because I just want it done NOW lol
I ordered the grommets from Amazon.com packet of 8 for $15 and that includes postage and import taxes to Spain!
Oh! How super is that! All the way to Spain! Let me know how they turn out ~ you'll have tissue boxes for Days!!! LOL!! :)
Hi Jean! I've been watching your videos non-stop since I discovered your channel! I love your project and your teaching approach but, I was wondering if you're into make coats? I've been trying to find a good video but, like you said most other tutorial just zip through the instructions and don't really teach you anything. Could you possibly help? I understand if it's not your thing to do though.🎄😊 Merry Christmas!!
Thanks so much for taking time to watch me! Glad you discovered my channel! I pretty much exclusively concentrate on quilt making now a days ~~ I garment sewed forever a long while back, but find more joy and fulfillment in my quilts! Thanks again for appreciating my teaching method....whatever that is!!! LOL!! :)
Are you standing in a shop or your house?
