A teacher gift

Hi everyone!!

 I hope you have all had a great day.

I made a bag today for my daughters teacher.

It was a last minute gift, as today was the last day of school.

Here it is.

I put a large pocket on the one side.

This pocket is big enough to put a large magazine.

The other side was left without pockets.

I put a zipper in the bag.

This is the first time I have done this.

It's not perfect, but it was good enough for today.

I added some pockets inside.

I tried using cotton webbing for the handles.

They look okay, but I don't think I will use it again for this type of bag.

My daughters teacher loved it.

So that was great.

I also got some great mail today.

The mail strike is over and I should be getting a few more packages in the mail soon.

This order came from Crazy Quilt Girl Fabric Shop.

I love this fabric.

Clermont Farms has some gorgeous prints.

I would love to get more of this fabric.

I will be away for the weekend.

My brothers getting married in Northern Ontario.

It will be fun to see all the family.

Completed two tote bags for the kids teachers.

Hi everyone, I have the other two tote bag finished. The first one is for my daughters teacher. I used Cotton Blossoms charm squares and a few fat quarters that I had in my stash to make this bag. I think her teacher will love it. She usually wears warm colors, so the bag should suit her. The second bag I made for my oldest sons teacher. I also used some Cotton Blossoms charm squares but in the aqua/orange colorway. I used some of the fat quarters I had in my stash to finish it off. I think it turned out nice. Both bags are a good size. They are deep and will hold quite a few books. I'm sure the teachers will like that. They always have so much stuff to bring to school and back home again. I hope you like the bags. I didn't use a specific pattern. I just made them. Made adjustments as I went, eye balled the length of the straps. You know....I just kind of did it without too much thinking. Anyways, have a great day. I'm tired now. I'm going to have an afternoon nap before the kids get home from school. My oldest has his graduation tonight. Thanks God he is a boy and I don't have to fuss so much.

Happy Stitching!!
