Have any of you seen a website for sewing such an item? I have. And now I don't know where I saw it. I was absolutely sure it was LazyGirl , but it is not the case. I called and asked. I had great plans to make these for little Christmas gifts and now I can't find it. HELP!

Any options instead?

I had forgotten all about those! I can't find the directions that we used, years ago....but I can tell you the instructions if that helps

edit: Try this for the picture, but check the measurements!


We took wool felt and cut it slightly longer (.5 inch maybe) than the kleenex packet and wide enough to wrap around, no overlap. Fold the short ends into meet each other in the center, stitch each end a scant quarter inch from the edge. You should have a rectangle with an opening in the center, going the ong lengthof the rectangle. Trim the ends with decorative or pinking shears (the felt won't fray, so this is just for looks) Then we attached some velcro (soft side) to the back, and the other side of the velcro in the the car. That way we could find it quickly in the car, yet grab it and take it with when we went somewhere. I should make mre of these, it was at least 5 years ago and I can't find he one for my car anymore.
THanks for reminding me
