I have received requests for a tutorial on coffee filter holders. They are fun to make, take only a short amount of time, and only a small amount of fabrics.
So here is the tutorial. I took photos of each step. They are cellphone photos which are not the best but gives the idea of how the steps are to be done.
Finished size is about 7 1/4 wide and almost 6 inches tall.

First, iron fabric and cut out two pieces of fabric, the main (outside) fabric and the lining (inside) fabric. Each piece should measure 14 inches long by 8 inches wide.
Next, place right sides together. You will sew a 1/4 inch seam allowance--you can mark the seam allowance or eyeball it as you sew. Leave a 2-3 inch gap as you will be turning this right side out soon. Pin if desired.
Now sew your 1/4 inch seam allowance, leaving a 2-3 inch gap for turning. Clip the corners.
Turn it inside out and you will have a sort of "bag." Press the wrinkles out.
Be sure to turn the gap edges under.
Turn the rectangle over so the main fabric covers the inside fabric as shown in the photo--leave at least two inches up top.
Now fold down the top two inches over the bottom part as shown in the photo.
Pin along both edges with a couple of pins, leaving room for a 1/4 inch seam down both sides.
Stitch down both sides with 1/4 inch seam.
Press out wrinkles. Now it is finished!
You will fold the top 2 inches backwards to open the coffee filter holder, as shown.

Add your coffee filters...
Close top by folding over to the front. And there you go!
East as pie!
