presents for teachers

I finished the presents

for my kids' teachers,

just on time for the end of appreciation week.

As the daughter of a first grade teacher,

I know teachers like presents that are edible

(especially if they are married or have children!).

That said how about a cute bucket to put the chocolate?

I made 2 more buckets using this tutorial

from Ric-Rac.

I had made some last year

here and here,

they are fun and easy to make.

This time I used a quilting cotton

(left-over from my favorite jacket)

and drop cloth.

Probably unusual, but not buying fabric,

remember?!

I like them so much

that I think I will make some for myself,

to use in my new sewing room....

still a work in progress!

Happy sewing!
