Mousepad & Tissue Holder

Made this mousepad and pocket tissue holder for my boss Julie's 50th birthday. The mousepad is reversible and has the same fabric as tissue holder on the backside.

I followed this tutorial at More Misadventures to make the mousepad but added the embroidered name and a layer fusible fleece to give the pad some body.  The leaf fabric is designed by Amy Schimler for Robert Kaufman Fabrics and its from the Animal Party Too collection.  I love it. 

Here is the backside of the mouse pad.  This fabric is called Save Energy and is by Michael Miller, I went bananas when I just stumbled upon it while searching for something else online.  This fabric totally represents what we do so I thought it was beyond perfect. 

Here is a closeup of the tissue holder.  I followed this tutorial at Skip to my Lou for it and it was super easy.  You can't tell in this picture but the inside of the holder is lined in a coordinating plaid fabric.  I wish I had thought of top stitching the edge of the tissue holder to match the mousepad but since I made the tissue holder first, it's too late now.

Hope you are having a great Tuesday, thanks for stopping by!
