teacher bag and an item off the list

Here's an item now off my to-do list. My sister has just finished up her student teaching and wanted to give her supervising teacher a teacher bag similar to the one I made for her. I made a few changes based on feedback from her using it now for the entire semester.

Like the first bag, it unzips on the sides to lay out flat.


One side has a large pocket for folders (tan spot on the left), a three pocket section (black with dots area), and a clear pocket sectioned into 4 pockets.

The other side has a large pocket for folders (tan on the right of picture), pencil pockets (black with dots) and a zipper section (tan).

She picked the fabrics and we had Carole at Frog Belly Soup do the embroidery. It's good to know someone who can do an 'emergency embroidery' job. I finished just in time. I'm overnighting it to her first thing in the morning.

My favorite part is still that there are a number of places to carry file folders without spilling out the papers.

Ok, back to packing boxes and sewing puppet curtains.
