My partnerâs a liâl MIA, got something going on maybe, so Iâm going to post what I made for her. Sheâs a teacher and listed fave colours as teal, turquoise, purple, golden yellow. I thought this pencil print was a good match for all of that. I used Noodleheadâs free open-wide tutorial, itâs one of my faves.
She said she likes paisley and while I couldnât find exactly that, I do like the similar vibe of this mandala print in a nice turquoisy teal.
I like it when the inside of a pouch or pocket is a surprise, this bright painty print is so pretty.
Then an oversized pencil case that fits inside the bigger pouch.
More of that painty print inside.
I filled it with a bunch of fabrics, laminated book marks made from watercolours and gelli prints received in swaps, a pair of earrings and a silver chain with dragonfly pendant inlaid with shiny blue stone.
I hope she liked it all and that sheâs doing OK and will check in soon.

I received an awesome package from @jillybeans!!!
I had mentioned that I have several beautiful sari wrap skirts that I rarely wear, because they donât have pockets to hold my phone. I was looking for something smaller, with loops or rings that I could slip the skirt ties through, so as to not add bulk with an extra waistband. Boy did she deliver!
Check out the adorable batik-like skull print! (BTW jilly, where did you find the fabric?!?!) The inside of the flap is lined in a beautiful deep red violet, and it has a great snap, to keep from losing anything while chasing after a toddler. (Or to keep said toddler from picking my pocket, which she is apt to do.)
It has one full-depth pocket for my phone at the back, and one shorter pocket at the front, for stuff like an ID or some cash. I love that I wouldnât be trying to jam my hand into a narrow space, to fish out a key or coin, all the way at the bottom.
She also sent some awesome chai tea, a cool candle in a hammered metal tin (detail pic below), EOS lip balm, a rainbow pair of stork embroidery scissors, and a roller ball vial of calendula oil!
Look at the rose on the top of the candle! Itâs way too pretty to burn.
And the vial of calendula oil, which was made with flowers from her own garden! Itâs anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory, and can be used on skin to help with healing or itching. The little rollerball cap is so useful! My witchy little heart can never resist a magical looking potion bottle.

That pencil pouch by @Magpie is just teacher-perfect! The zipper coordination is chefâs kiss and I love the little matching pouch. One of these days Iâm going to try that pattern!
AH! @jillybeans nailed Jennie! That fabric is so perfect for her. I see her getting a lot of use out of it for sure! And all the accessories are so Jennie, too! You guys were a great pair!!

Recieved an amazing pouch from Magpie (couldnât make it to my mailbox during daylight hours for a few days and i donât feel safe going at night). She did an amazing job and Iâm hoping to use it to carry small projects to work on during breaks. A few bookmarks for the numerous books Iâm in the middle of. A number of fabrics (some i ran out of and was bummed to not have more). And a few ornaments and jewelry.
Thanks so much.

So happy to hear from you! Glad you like everything. The little machine embroidered pencil came from @PrincessP and has been in my special hoard, erm⌠stash for a while now. I was hoping it would be fun for a teacher. The bookmarks are gelli prints & watercolours from swaps that I cut & had laminated.
@Teachergirl let me know which fabrics youâre missing & want more of, there are 2 fabricland stores in town that regularly have sales. I imagine we get the same fabrics since thereâs limited commercial supply in Canada. Iâm happy to send whatever you need.
