Here are the market bags I made for one of my son's teachers... I made her two and put a $10 grocery store gift card in one of the pockets :)

I just looove this fabric!
I got it at Sir's in Fayetteville, TN (which is not one of my favorite fabric stores since they mostly have seconds and flat folds) but I did fall in love with this black paisley material.
I made myself a few as well but ran out of the material I was using for the sides & straps :( I don't see myself getting out there any time in the near future so I'll probably just pick up some twill at Wallyworld...

awesome, thanks for sharing

That teacher is going looove you ;-)

Your son's teacher is going to love the gift you made for her. My sister was a teacher and received more coffee cups than you can imagine. She would have loved receiving a market bag. :thumbup:

What a great teachers gift. That's so thoughtful of you.

Those are really pretty. It's really nice to reward those who have made a difference in our children's lives.

What a great gift!

What a wonderful gift!

thanks again for the link to the pattern!

Lucky Teacher - what a great teacher gift idea! I'm beyond the teacher gift point, but it's a great gift for anyone.
