In a piece of tissue , there are a lot of small spaces if you look closely enough.

This spaces allow water to be absorbed hence increasing both the mass and the volume of the tissue. With greater mass and volume , the density of the tissue would be higher compared to the density of the water which is 1g/cm3 . Therefore , causing the tissue to sink in water .

How can a sewing needle float on the surface of water?

The needle does not break the surface tension (meniscus). Get a small piece of toilet tissue and lay it on a glass of water. lay a needle on the tissue. The tissue will become sodden and sink, leaving the needle floating on the surface tension. Put the smallest drop of washing-up liquid on the water. The surface tension will be destroyed and the needle will sink. Try it.
