Although Emma's last day of school was a couple weeks ago, I thought I'd share the gift we made together for her teacher. We could not have had a better experience this year, and Ms. P was one of the biggest reasons for that.
So I decided to make a bag for her with a bit of Emma's artwork on the front.
Emma made a picture for her and wrote a long note around the edge letting Ms. P know how much she liked her. I took the words, "You are the best techr evr" from this.
The drawing is as close as I could get to the original, too. I appliqued the colored parts and used my free-motion embroidery foot to do the outlining and lettering.
A pretty lining and handy pocket inside.
A bit of branding on the back.
I was lucky enough to be there when Emma presented the bag and the drawing to Ms P. She loved it and said she would make it her official school bag. Of course Emma was beaming at this. (So was I!) Honestly, there is no way we could have thanked her enough for successfully teaching 22 6-year-olds for an entire school year. This was just a small token.
