I have a friend who is a violin teacher and I will be making Christmas gifts for her students again this year. I have a plan for the girls but she has male students ranging in age from 6 yrs to adult and I have no idea what I can make for them. Last year it was fleece scarves for everyone...easy enough. I only charge her $2 per gift so I need it to be fast, easy, and cheap to make.
Thanks

a pouch/portfolio to carry their music in

If you can find flannel on the cheap--------how about pillowcases? My DH and I love the flannel pillowcases I made last winter------------ALL YEAR!

You do mean only $2 labor, don't you? With her paying supplies?????

And how much does she charge for her lessons???????????????

I think you should charge a bit more for the labor - I sure hope she is paying for the supplies.

For the adults, a mug mat.

Luggage tags in fabric with either violins or mucsical notes for their cases.

i like the pillow idea...you can use scraps of flannel

I think the luggage tags are a great idea or how about the "bands" that you put around a hot paper coffee cup.

Use music fabric for book covers: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient...w=1053&bih=720

Maybe next year you could do quilted stockings for all the students - they are real easy to do especially in assembly line sewing.
