What could I make for a teacher
#26
I am appliqueing onto kitchen towels and adding rick rack to the bottom of them. I took coordinating towels and also "doctored" them up but cut them in 1/2 and crocheted at the top of them so they can hang on cabinets. Then I made knitted dishcloths and may try to get some quilted potholds made as well. I have several sets made up to give to the grandkids teachers, co-workers, etc. I did this last year and the ladies that received them loved them!

From a retired teacher....all of your ideas are good! Keep in mind, though, if some students give the teacher similar items (totes for example) the teacher has to be sure to use each gift equally. The children will notice. So I vote for items for the home....tablerunners, etc.

Nancy's Notions has a great pattern for a quilted/insulated casserole cover that is very easy to make. Just need 2 22" square pieces of fabric, some insubrite, and 2 D rings. Takes about an hour to make.

As a retired and substitute teacher... please stay away from "apples" unless you know they like them. I like apples but can't tell you how many unuseful apple items I got. Things quilted I would have liked.... placemats, napkins to match, table runner, table top, hot mitt, hot pads, a simple throw... keep it small but useable. Holiday items are good in the aforementioned categories. Hope this is helpful.
