Sew a tissue pouch: Even sewing beginners can sew this cute tissue pouch themselves! With my free pattern, you can whip up a practical tissue pouch in no time!

Sew yourself a tissue pouch – or "TaTüTa" for short ;)

There are many tissue pouches out there. But we have developed a tissue pouch with origami corners just for you. They are made in a flash, give the little tissue pouch a nice structure, and simply look sensationally good. If you then add a bead or a yoyo with a button as a decoration, the pouch makes a really great gift for a friend or mom. By the way: Here on the blog, there is also a super cute tissue pouch made from fabric scraps. Sewn in a flash! :) I also have a tutorial for you on how to easily make your own bias tape, of course! :)

To sew the tissue pouch, you will need:

  • Fabric* for the outside and inside
  • Iron-on interfacing for the outside (we use Vlieseline H 640*)
  • Bias tape with anchors, dots, etc.; purchased* or homemade
  • Color-coordinated sewing thread
  • Bead (e.g., cute anchors*!), bow, button, or ribbon, according to your taste
  • Our free pattern:

Step-by-step instructions

Sew a tissue pouch with origami corners

The TaTüTa (tissue pouch) with origami corners is a pretty little project for fabric scraps. With the free sewing pattern and bias binding, you'll sew it in under an hour.

  1. Step

    Print the pattern

    Print out the sewing pattern.

  2. Step

    Iron on the interfacing

    Now iron the interfacing onto the wrong side of the fabric piece for the outside.

  3. Step

    Cut the fabrics

    Cut out the fabric for the inside and outside and transfer the markings from the sewing pattern to the outer fabric.

  4. Step

    Finish the edges with bias binding

    Finish the curved edges with bias binding.

  5. Step

    Fold the first point

    Fold the points of the bound edges over the middle to the back marking.

  6. Step

    Fold the second side

    Fold the other side the same way, making sure that the point that was underneath on the other side is now on top.

  7. Step

    Mark the origami corners

    Prepare the origami corners: make a mark on the closed side, 1 cm from the open edge.

  8. Step

    Fold in the corners

    Fold in the outer corner so the marks meet. Secure with a pin and repeat on the remaining three corners.

  9. Step

    Stitch the open edges

    Stitch the open edges, going over the bias binding in the middle twice, as this area takes extra strain when taking out the tissues.

  10. Step

    Finish the edges

    Trim the seam allowance and finish the edge with a zigzag stitch.

  11. Step

    Turn right side out

    Turn right side out, push out the corners and add a bead if you like. Done!
