Ok so how lame is it that I’m a teacher, and a crafty one at that and I’m only realising now I should have made my son’s teacher a gift!? Again a sign of how busy I have been these last few weeks. So while I don’t have a gift to send in with Wesley today I’m totally planning on making this lovely teacher one of these before the school year ends!
It’s super cute, functional, personalized and handmade!! How can she not like it! From a crafty sewer perspective my son can help with writing her name and choosing the buttons and fabric and I get to use up some of the fun scraps I have lying around. It’s all win win. Thanks for sharing Make It Perfect!
Probably the reason I hadn’t picked her up a gift yet is because I know how tricky it is as a teacher at Christmas/end of year when you get gifts. It’s sort of a weird time especially depending on the school you’re at. Not every student will get you a gift and the ones who do might want to see you open the gifts but you don’t want to make a big deal about it if some students don’t have the means to buy gifts. It can be awkward. I’m also a terrible lair and have a horrible poker face and Christmas teacher gifts tend to be of the mug/snow globe/ornament nature, which while totally thoughtful there’s sort of only so many you can have. So pencil case it is! Perhaps I’ll even use my 2 weeks off to craft one and send it in for January, random gifts are cool too.
