bag is done... time for school

I am so excited to give my sister her birthday present. It's not until September, but she's getting it early. I got it done this evening. I called her right away and asked if I could go ahead and put pictures here. She's like me and didn't want to wait for a surprise.

I made her the teacher bag I've mentioned recently. I got my inspiration here. There's a tutorial there but I didn't use it. I made a sketch and just jumped in. I used some of the pocket tricks I learned while making this for my other sister. So, she's student teaching this fall and was in need of a teacher tote.

Zippers on both sides allow it to open up.

Everything is all in there and all organized. Neat and tidy.

Two pockets on the front. One big blue one and a smaller yellow one.

It unzips and opens up. There are all your things.

It opens flat with all of the necessary supplies right there. I'm thinking this would be great for grading. All of the grading supplies could be right there, grading scale card, calculator, markers, pens, etc.

One side has a large pocket in the back, a row of pencil pockets and then a row of three pockets with clear fronts.


On one side there is a zipper pouch, three pockets and then another big pocket. I wanted there to be lots of places for full sized papers and file folders.

I really wanted to make sure that it could hold file folders sitting the right way too. It's so not cool when all your papers fall out when you go to pull out the folder.

I made an extra front pocket, just in case. She is a Miss now, but who knows someday. No pressure.

I just want to carry it around. It's a fun bag. The only other thing I could think to get her were socks. It's a long story.

I've linked up all kinds of places. Here's the list.
