Bargello Book Stack Tissue Box Cover Stitch-A-Long (SAL)

📚 A modern take on a classic tissue box cover, designed for readers, makers, and lovers of cozy spaces. Your tissues deserve better than a cardboard box. 🤧 Our newest Stitch-A-Long is here, and it might be one of the most uniquely Makeshift projects we've ever created. This exclusive Bargello design transforms an ordinary tissue box into a cozy stack of stitched books, creating a functional piece of decor that's equal parts bookish, nostalgic, and surprisingly sophisticated. We love tissue box covers. We especially love taking something traditionally a little grandma-coded and giving it a modern, handmade glow-up. The finished project looks right at home on a bookshelf, reading nook, side table, office desk, or anywhere tissues need to exist without ruining the vibe. This isn't just "here's a pattern, good luck." This is a guided 4-week Stitch-A-Long designed to help you confidently tackle a three-dimensional Bargello project with support, community, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way. And because this project involves shaping and construction, every participant will attend a dedicated kickoff session where we'll walk through cutting plastic canvas, assembly techniques, and all the tricks we've learned while building the sample projects. With eight different color palettes to choose from, you can create anything from classic leather-bound library vibes to bright contemporary bookshelves and everything in between.
