The boys have been battling a summer cold over the last few days. We desperately need more hankies in the house, so I’m in the process of sewing some up using my flannel scraps for extra softness. I also thought I’d take a moment to make a little hankie dispenser within the boys’ reach. Shamelessly, I took my inspiration from Soulemama’s hankie holder. I am trying my best not to feel guilty for copying her design because 1.) I own all of her books and 2.) I plan to purchase her upcoming book the minute it’s released. So there, I’m absolved. 
I wanted to be sure it would hold it’s shape with the boys rummaging though it, so I used a medium weight interfacing in it.
I also omitted the zipper in the back. I didn’t have one long enough and I think it will be fine with just stuffing clean hankies in from the front.
Here’s to quick healing and handmade solutions for raw little noses.
Really cute! Is that some of your recent Japanese fabric order? I think stuffing from the from is perfectly reasonable. I will have to give it a try soon!
Thanks, Keri. I think it’s an older Robert Kaufman print that I bought a few years ago. It was originally meant to be a diaper for Aidan, lol. The back is a large scrap leftover from Aidan’s birthday banner. It’s Shade Garden fabric by Michelle Engel Bencsko for Henry Glass.
so adorable!!!
