For the Teachers…

This year, I wanted to make something extra special for Livie and Lauren’s teachers. Both girls had a fantastic year and their teachers were positively lovely! They were such a sunny spot in my daughters’ lives so I wanted to spend a little extra time making something they would love.

It was really fun mixing and matching different fabrics for the right combination for each dish mat. Each one was unique and one-of-a-kind.

Amy Butler fabric is always so fun and fabulous!

All tied up with a pretty pink and brown ribbon and ready for their new homes!

Don’t they look fun? I was so excited to give them to the teachers and thankfully, they loved them!
