Stephanie from <a href=\"http:\/\/swoodsonsays.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Swoodson Says<\/a> again; if you've already made your <a title=\"Modern Christmas Tissue Box Cover pattern\" href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/christmas-tissue-box-cover-pattern\/\" target=\"_blank\">modern holiday tissue box cover<\/a> and are looking for a New Year's replacement, get ready! I invariably find myself sick each January after all the Christmas gatherings and what better way to suffer through a cold than with a cheery tissue box. It has a shallow pocket to hold tea, chapstick, or some cough drops. I think this would also make a nice &#8216;new neighbor gift' &#8211; maybe pair it with <a href=\"http:\/\/swoodsonsays.com\/diy-gifts-kitchen-set-of-cloth-napkins-hot-pad-and-hand-towel\/\" target=\"_blank\">a set of cheery kitchen scrubbers<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>I used a standard, vertical Kleenex brand box (sides measuring \u20194.5\u2033 X 5.25\u2033\u2018 and top measuring \u20194.5\u2033 X 4.5\u2033\u2018) so just measure your box if it\u2019s a different brand and add on accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 yard cotton fabric<\/li>\n<li>4.5&#8243; of 1\/4&#8243; wide elastic<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 yard medium-weight, one-sided <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/fusible_interfacing\" title=\"Fusible Interfacing\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">fusible interfacing<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Ruler<\/li>\n<li>Marking pen\/pencil<\/li>\n<li>Iron<\/li>\n<li>Bodkin or safety pin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0To sew the Get Well Soon tissue box cover pattern<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14557 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4.jpg\" alt=\"steps 1 4\" width=\"700\" height=\"570\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4.jpg 700w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4-500x407.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4-150x122.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/570;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14557 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4.jpg\" alt=\"steps 1 4\" width=\"700\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4.jpg 700w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4-500x407.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-1-4-150x122.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>1. First we're going to make the pocket. Cut a rectangle of fabric 5.5&#8243; X 4&#8243; and press a scant 1\/4&#8243; hem up. You can see how shallow my pocket is (I like it that way so I don't lose anything!) but if you'd like a taller pocket, adjust the second measurement (4&#8243;) to be longer.<\/p>\n<p>2. Press another 3\/8&#8243; up, to make a casing for the elastic. Sew along the bottom edge.<\/p>\n<p>3. Hook the end of your elastic to the bodkin or safety pin and thread through, sewing securely on the loose end.<\/p>\n<p>4. Pull the safety pin or bodkin taut so that the other end of the elastic is just visible outside the casing and stitch right inside, securely attaching it. Trim both elastic ends so they are flush with the fabric. Cut out the interfacing to the following dimensions: ( 4 side pieces 6.75\u2033 X 5.5\u2033, 1 top piece 5.5\u2033 X 5.5\u2033). Iron on to the wrong side of the cotton fabric. Use a scissors or <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/rotary_cutter\" title=\"Amazon.com: Fiskars 45mm Contour Rotary Cutter (195210-1001): Arts, Crafts &amp;amp; Sewing\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">rotary cutter<\/a> to trim carefully to the lines. Cut an additional top piece without interfacing, 5.5&#8243; X 5.5&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14558 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8.jpg\" alt=\"steps 5-8\" width=\"700\" height=\"570\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8.jpg 700w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8-500x407.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8-150x122.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/570;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14558 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8.jpg\" alt=\"steps 5-8\" width=\"700\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8.jpg 700w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8-500x407.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/steps-5-8-150x122.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>5. Align the pocket with one of the interfaced side pieces and baste around all three raw edges so it's secure, stretching the elastic to fit.<\/p>\n<p>6. Layer the un-interfaced top piece facing right side down on top of the interfaced top piece which is right side up. Draw a rectangle 3.5&#8243; X 2&#8243; on top.<\/p>\n<p>7. Sew along the rectangle, keeping all layers aligned.<\/p>\n<p>8.

You can trim the corners off inside the stitching lines once you have turned them right side out to check for alignment. This will reduce bulk and make the corners pointier. Press all seams.
