Gifts for Teachers

My oldest started preschool this year, so I have been searching for great gifts for teachers. A friend of a friend contacted me a few weeks ago because she heard I was crafty. She had seen a very cute tote bag for sale on the internet and wanted something similar to give to her son's teachers for the holidays. She felt that it was important for her to support local crafters, so she commissioned me to design a similar bag for her.

This Teacher's Tote Bag is the design I came up with. It measures approximately 15" x 13" and the handles are 14" long by 1" wide. The outside is a cream colored cotton and I used pretty Amy Butler cotton fabrics for the lining. I used Wilton® easyimageTM T-Shirt Transfers for Use on Light Fabrics to transfer the design to the front of the tote bag. The design was really easy to create using wiltoneasyimage.com. You can design just about anything you want using hundreds of images and fonts.

The tutorial for this tote bag will be available soon from Boogaboo Babies.
