Sewing Projects

Ally and I have been doing a few sewing projects. Ally's teacher had her first baby in December, so she had been on leave and so Ally's class had a subsitute for a few months while she was gone. I was definitely nervous for the change because Ally absolutely adores her teacher. But as it turned out, she also absolutely adored the substitute as well. Her last day with the class was on Valentine's Day so Ally wanted to make her something special. So, she drew a heart on some fabric and stitched it herself and then we made it into a pillow...it was precious....hard to give away to say the least. She was so proud of herself...and I was as well!


I also wanted to make something special for Ally's teacher having her very first baby. I had Ally during my first year of teaching...2 incredible things all wrapped up together. One of the amazing mom's of one of my students had each of my students paint a quilt block and sewed it all together in the most gorgeous quilt for Allyson. She still gets it out to this day and wants me to tell her all about my students. I knew I wanted to make Ally's teacher a quilt as a keepsake of her special year...so this is what we came up with. I had each of the kids write their own names and I stiched them onto the blocks. It turned out cute and was so much fun to give to her.
