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.
