We love our teacher! My girls have the same teacher because she teaches grades 1-3. I figured out that she'll be our teacher for 5 years! Because she got our older daughter in 1st grade, both this year and has 2 more years with our youngest. Very cool!
For teacher appreciation day, I made this Cat in the Hat tote bag for her and filled it with classroom supplies. I haven't heard from her about it, but the kids said she loved it. I know totes of all kinds are handy for teachers, so I'm sure she'll find a use for it even if she has a bunch of other totes already. Can never have too many totes!
I made it with Cat in the Hat fabric and polka dot fabric for the lining. I added a pocket on it and I embroidered her name above the pocket.
To embroider her name, I first wrote it in Microsoft Word, then turned it into a graphic. Then I threw the graphic into a free demo version of Sew Art which turned the graphic into an embroidery file. I put it on a usb stick and put that into my embroidery machine.
