Lunch bag for the teachers

It's nearly the end of school year and I have been thinking of what I can give as a thank you present for the teachers at the nursery where DD goes.  She only started January but she's happy there and the teachers are lovely.

I saw this lunch bag tutorial and I had a go.  It took me a while as I only do a  bit at a time at night before bedtime and there was too many pieces.  Luckily I made a pattern so I can make the other 2 a bit quicker.  It is so cute! I want to keep it :) They are made from tea towels I bought from Wilko in the sale.   I came back if they had more of them but they have the new range which aren't as pretty.  I found some more from Asda and Aldi today.  They are thick cotton and I don't think I'll be able to find similar fabric so the tea towels are my best option.

 

*Table update - Am onto my last top coat. And now DH said to get rid of the table and chairs. I don't think so! Let me enjoy it first :)

Next project is a Tudor outfit of DS for the school parade at the end of the month. But I am shirring another dress made from a fabric bought from Dunelm £5.99 / m. I normally get fabric for £1 / m in the Asian shop so this was a big purchase for me but it's worth it cos it's' beautiful! I can see me addicted buying fabrics.  I plan to give this dress to a friend's daughter from school who passed me a few school dresses for DD when she starts in Sept.
