Hand-sewn tissue packet covers

Some people do sports to relieve stress.  Some go to spas to get a facial or massage.  Some cook or bake.  What is my stress reliever?  It's sewing.  Hand-sewing, that is, since I don't have a portable sewing machine yet.
My latest project is  tissue packet covers.  I was inspired to make some when I read the blog of a former pen friend .  She's from Australia and she's into sewing too and posted some photos of her projects.  Among those were the very pretty and dainty tissue packet covers.  Hers had laces and ribbons on them.
I did some YouTube browsing and watched a couple about sewing tissue covers.  Went downtown to buy cloth and voila!  My first try wasn't that bad, I guess.  What do you think?
