My kids' Primary School teachers always get a handbag from me at the end of the school year (except the year when one of my daughters had a male teacher - before 'man bags' were cool!).
I've only one daughter left in P.S so I could spend a little more time & thought on her wonderful teacher.
I recently saw a tutorial for a cute summer tote bag on Grosgrain.
And here is my version of it:

| I added a handy pocket for the wee stuff that always gets lost at the bottom! |
This pattern follows the standard rules of bag-making (pocket & snap fastener instructions not included) and was very easy to make.
My daughter loves it and is confident her teacher will love it too! Phew!
The same daughter has 2 classroom assistants in her class who she doesn't like to leave out. So they (plus my other daughter's favoured form teacher) are getting mug rugs which I had made a few months back.
I'm going great guns with my lounge cushions (once I finally bought the right size cushion fillers - duh!). Will wait until I've all 6 made before the grand unveiling!!
Kripes, my son's teacher will be lucky to get a box of Roses the rate I'm going - and the girls leave nursery at the end of July, which means, as a family, we will have been going there non-stop for 5 1/2 years! Going to be a sad day - I will have to make something for them!
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts. I think about making things for the girls' teachers but don't find the time to actually make them. One day!! Can't wait to see the pillows.
ReplyDeleteLovely pressies! Bag is fab- love how you've used the ribbon (?!!) stuff on the front and inside.
ReplyDeleteThat's one very lucky teacher- fabulous bag!
ReplyDeleteThose are nice presents, teachers work so hard! I think I am shopping for teacher presents, no time to be so creative, I will try to remember to start early for next year.
ReplyDeleteSnap - I made my elder daughter's teacher a bag at the end of last year's school when she left for senior school!
