OK - so I have no woman domestic stuff in me whatsoever. I can make babies, but that's about it. I can put laundry in, but I don't put it away. Having said that, I saw the cutest little gift card pocket on Lisa Johnson's blog and I thought - I can do that! (or something similar). So I went out today and bought a needle and thread, bummed felt off a friend, and put this cute little gift card pocket together for D's teacher for Christmas! Inside I have (2) $25 Hallmark gift cards - and before you think I am a high-roller giving the teacher $50, let me tell you, I bought them at an online auction we had on our website...so they only cost me $12.50 each = $25 I spent to give her $50; heh. Thanks for lookin' - ouch - I think I just threw my shoulder out from patting myself on the back. But look - I sewed all the edges by myself.....and sewed buttons on by myself and cut all the felt and sewed the handle on and did all the stamping. I know this is remedial for you, Dawn but for me - this is hot stuff! Funny thing is - this looks like something you could buy at the dollar store for a buck and the teacher might not even know I made it. Oh well, I do and I love it!

Michelle, I think you did an awesome job.WTG!!! You should give yourself another pat for a job well done.
Have a GREAT day.
lmfao! Got the email..STAT...at like 6 am this morning....
OK you got one up on me...I don't sew...nope...only with a sewing machine on paper ;)
This turned out cute! Trying to think of a way to let her know you made it....hmmmmm...let you know if I come up with something.
LOL @ big spender!
Great job Michelle!
How about getting an iron on patch that you could put on the rear bottom that says something like Hand Made By Michelle.
I don't sew only stuffed animal repair and if it's too difficult I have a friend who is a sewer.
And wicked deal on the gift cards. I'm at a loss at what to get the boys teachers.
I couldn't imagine what you were going to sew when you told me about this project, but it's cute! Pretty decent sewing job for a virgin. Good choice for teacher's gift, too. Just don't give mugs, ornaments, or jewelry.
