Last week, I posted about my new chair pockets in my classroom. I thought that I might share what my classroom looks like right now. Ignore the boxes but look at the cute apples that my kiddos made! This is probably one of the least attractive angles of my classroom but it's a good look at the chair pockets! I also added a color coordinated word wall this year and I'm quite excited to see how my students use it!

It is now the start of a new school year! I am still teaching Kindergarten and I have 18 lovely kiddos that are in my class. I decided to add some new flare to my classroom and make some new bulletin boards for my students. I decided that I could make a foray into sewing because I have an old sewing machine that I never learned how to use and I thought that learning to use it to make chair pockets for my classroom would be cheaper than buying chair pockets for my classroom. I didn't really have a pattern but I had an idea and I successfully made a class set of chair pockets in four different colors! This wasn't the most perfect chair pocket of the ones I made but it shows the basic structure of the pocket. There's a small pocket that fits over the chair and a large pocket on the other side to hold different things. I also folded a flap on the front so that I could have a vinyl pocket to put the child's name in. It was a really fun experience and I made about 19 chair pockets in about four days working on and off on them and it only cost me about $50 which would be about $2.65 per chair pocket while buying them online might cost me $20 per chair pocket. Hopefully with these being my first big sewing machine project, they will last the year and not have too much wear and tear on them.
