I've made a lot of teacher pillows over the past few weeks. I made pillows for my children's teachers and a few extras for people who loved them and ordered some. I finished my latest teacher pillow a few days ago (for a friend, who is a teacher and wants it for her classroom)... and realised that I shared progress shots and pillow pictures on social media, but never actually blogged about them. Whoops!

I love these pillows soooooooooo much! The basic pattern is by Amy of NanaCompany. Stop on over at her blog for the free pattern. It's really sweet and perfect for Christmas. I used the basic idea and added my own wording to make these especially for teacher appreciation gifts.

I've had great feedback from the teachers, who all loved them. Apparently there were even a few happy tears... which is always a very nice achievement, right?
