T-shirt Tissues

I never told you guys about this, but last year I switched over from paper tissues at home to a more eco-friendly and reusable version made out t-shirt fabric. These things generally get a bad rep, so I was reluctant to share. I've had a couple of people say, "Eww, you're going to carry that around with you? Gross!", but overall it's been fine. 

The blue set is from some t-shirt/stretch knit fabric I bought a long time ago. I don't even know how to sew with this material, so might as well use it for something. And then E had an old t-shirt from college that he gave me. 

For the tissues, I just cut out 6 inch squares. You don't have to do anything else since the fabric edge doesn't roll. I remember seeing this tutorial somewhere out there in the internets, but I can't remember exactly where.  

Allergy season is upon us and I can't tell you how much better it is with these. 1) They are super soft and therefore great on my nose. 2) I've saved some money and trees. Normally I would go through about one box a week. So ridiculous! And 3) It's so easy. I just wash them - about once a week during allergy season and way less often the rest of the year. 

Thank you, internets!

You know I actually said, "You didn't tell me about this!" I get it though. My mom always carried handkerchiefs and just washed them. I guess, why not? PS, yours are way cuter.
