If you have kids in school, you may be looking a way to offer a small token of your appreciation to their teachers as the school year comes to a close. I’ve made a small round up of quick sews for teacher gifts.
Oh, and I almost forgot to announce the winner of the giveaway. Check the bottom of this post to find out if you won!
1. Insulated Lunch Bag
I’m loving this wonderfully cliche apple fabric from Satin Moon Quilted Garden, and I thought it would make a perfect lunch bag. Teachers often don’t have time to leave school for lunch, so need to pack a lunch. Why not have it in style? I followed my own free tutorial, found here.
2. Cup cozy
I started making these cozies a little over a year ago, and I have so much fun making them. There are so many ways to make them. Here is another apple one, this time the fabric is from Stay Home Fabrics. I make mine with snaps. I’ve seen others use buttons, and some even crochet them. They’re a fun way to brighten a day, and if you add a reusable cup and a gift card to a local coffee shop, it really completes the gift.
3. Key fobs
I was first given one of these a couple of years ago, and I love mine! It’s so convenient when you have your hands full, and need to keep your keys ready.
4. Glasses Case
Thread Riding Hood’s Sunny Glasses Case is a wonderful pattern and so useful. There is even a printable card to go along with it that your child can colour in!
5. Small Clutch
Sometimes we all like a fancy little gift. I think the Swoon Coraline Clutch fits the bill nicely. You could make it fun and they could use it as a marker bag for the classroom, or you could dress it up for her to use for an evening out.
Giveaway winner

Thanks for including the sunglasses case on your list Reece! I love the key fobs. They always look amazing and fast to make. I really should try to make some!
