So today, I made 7 zippy purses for the teachers and teaching assistants who have had the pleasure of educating the FB brood this year...
I'll pop a bit of Green & Blacks in to make up for not being from Marks & Spencer!
2 more days of work and school... not that I have been counting down the hours or anything, then, if someone could arrange some sunshine, I would be most grateful.

those are really nice, and are making me feel a bit crap for not having organised anything for our teachers!
ReplyDeleteAwfully organised of you - they look great!
ReplyDeleteWow, the teachers/TAs are going to be thrilled!!!
ReplyDeleteWowza. Mightily impressed.
ReplyDeleteLook at yours, all the same size and everything. You obviously don't fob the teachers off with the off cuts and odd sized bits of fabric that I did!
ReplyDeleteYes I had been to Susan and Jo's obviously the only think for a stylish teacher to be seen with this end of term! Very lovely the are too!
ReplyDeleteThose teachers are going to love you!
ReplyDeleteQuite glad I don't have to think about that this year! Although, I wonder if Joe will give ME a present...?
ReplyDeleteHaving received many teacher gifts over the years I can guarantee that your pouches will be much loved and appreciated. There are only so many "I Love My Teacher" mugs that one can use!
ReplyDeleteOh feeling left out now, or you are just so last year, I did zippy pouches last year, this year it's zakka style...he's photographing them right now...I have a bag in the Erin McMorris fabric so think that one must be for me?
ReplyDeleteNice! Next time around I'll try to make them with zipper tabs as well. I made pouches as well, I purchased a pattern (that I later discovered needs some tweaking) for some tea cup shaped pouches, and to make up for the zipper gone shambles I put in some hand made soaps. Need to keep the teachers clean you know... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHoly moly! There's me proud of making 3! You are on fire hadley ;)
ReplyDeleteHadley, they're gorgeous! What lucky teachers your little guy/gals have!
ReplyDeleteTeachers pet then Missus?! Happy Holidays :-)
ReplyDeleteBetter than M & S any day.
ReplyDeleteLucky teachers. Lovely zippy pouches H. Di x
ReplyDeletewhat a great selection of pouches: lucky teachers! Roll on the end of term: although I still have all of next week and a couple of days after that to go :-(
ReplyDeleteWhich ones mine?!! ;-)) no male teachers at the school? Great job btw!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I made a quilt for my daughter's teacher but then got told off by said daughter for not having time to make 2 more for the TAs. I will have to run down the shops and get something alternative!
ReplyDeleteAll these teacher pressies....whatever happened to an apple? ;-)
ReplyDeleteGosh I wish I was one of those teachers! Fab looking pouches! =D
ReplyDeleteha ha - this is definately the gift of choice, when I get a minute I need to blog about the 6 zippy pouches I have made for various teachers thank you gifts!!! Yours look lovely and I feel sure will be received well x
ReplyDeleteShow off! Hehe! They look great!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd move to the UK and become a teacher for some green & blacks and a zippy pouch! I just can't believe the school year goes so long! But maybe the kids getting out will turn the weather around and it will be nothing but sunshine and thunderbugs. (not sure if that's the real name for them, but I was in England one summer... 86 maybe?...when the weather was setting heat records and there were swarms of these awful, flying, flea like bugs everywhere. They'd get in your hair, your eyes, your food. My sister and I called them thunderbugs.)
ReplyDeleteWell done for cranking them all out! The good news is apparently the weather will improve next week, well, for those down south, we up north may still be getting damp!
ReplyDeleteThose are such great presents!
ReplyDeleteCurse you. Like Susan, yours are significantly neater than mine. I am suffering from zippy-pouch-inferiority-complex now, at least I can probably safely assume that not many of my son's nursery workers read your blogs, I suppose...
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Just one more alarm clock morning, yippee!, I can tell you I have earnt my six weeks off!
ReplyDeleteHumph, blogger lost my comment! The zippy pouches are lovely. Just one more alarm clock morning. Yippee! I have certainly earnt my six weeks off!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are lovely. Especially love the the ones with the birds & the leaves.
ReplyDeleteJo & Susan - yours are lovely too & at least you made something!!
Lush x
lovely pouches (and not in the rude way!)
ReplyDeleteI love that first shot of all of them lined up! Lucky teachers!
ReplyDeletesew cute, they'll love em to pieces. I know I would.
ReplyDeleteyou make these assembly line style right? they are all so great! how long did it take you to finish all of them.
ReplyDeleteBusy bee...and Congrats on 2 years!
ReplyDeleteSuper lucky teachers!! When I was ateacher I had endless boxes of chocolates and flowers, it is lovley to have something different and especially when it is handmade.
ReplyDeleteDon't they look pretty together! Making something like that is on my list... but quilts keep getting in the way :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! You made all of them? Impressive work. They are all beautiful. I must say. You got the skill. I should try to make some too. A little bigger than them.
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean? Make up for not being from M and S? These are unique, beautiful and useful gifts, They are vastly superior to anything M and S would produce!
ReplyDeleteThe Green and Blacks will probably be a very tasty addition, but 'make up for'? I think not even in the running with yours!
Like I told Susan, lucky teachers and lovely pouches. Now where is the photo with your brood wearing goggles?
