Every year teachers receive gifts that they may appreciate the sentiment but they can only use so much calogne and candy. Use your sewing skills to sew a gift that shows you appreciate their time and efforts. These free patterns will provide ideas to spur your imagination and create giftas that are far more personalized than any thing you can buy in the stores.
Your fabric choices, embroideries and appliques can make any gift highly personalized so it shows that you spent time thinking about and making a special gift for a special person.

Almost all public schools ask that each student bring in a box of tissues. We all know that not all students contribute which leaves teachers digging into their own pocket. Grab a couple different style boxes of tissues, find fabric that reflects the teacher's subject and sew covers that will be used for years.
