I am so stinkin’ proud of myself!

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!

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.
