Class Projects

January 29, 2007 by Christina

goodie bagI

t’s almost Valentine’s Day and that means classroom parties! I loved these parties when I was young. I would always search through the cards I received for that one special card from the cute boy in my class. They were all the same though You know the kind I’m talking about, you tear them apart and they had a picture of some goofy cat with sunglasses or Barbie or a superhero. Why not do something different with your child this year. You have plenty of time to make something special for each child in the class. It doesn’t have to even be a traditional type card!

Start by getting a class roster from your child’s teacher, this way you have the correct spelling of each child’s name. Then get creative! Why not start your search for unique Valentine ideas at Oriental Trading Company! Here you fill find tons of projects that you and your child can create. The prices are great and there is such a wide variety that you are sure to find something you and your child will love. Why not create a goodie bag

and fill it with candy and small toys. You would be the coolest Mom ever!

Etsy Spotlight Series – Boho Magic: Bell Sleeves, Autumn Air, and a Dress That Transforms Seasons

If you love a relaxed boho vibe with a touch of elegance, the Bell Sleeve Bohemian Dress Sewing Pattern is a dream come true! This pattern from Etsy has quickly become one of my favorites for its simple yet stylish design, perfect for both beginner and intermediate sewists.

I was looking for a project that would give me a beautiful, flowy dress for the cooler weather, and this pattern delivered exactly that. The bell sleeves add a gorgeous, whimsical touch, making it feel like a true statement piece, while the loose fit keeps things comfortable for everyday wear.

Easy to Follow: The instructions are clear and simple to understand, with great step-by-step guidance. As someone who isn’t a pro, I appreciated how it made sewing so straightforward.

Stylish Design: The bell sleeves and flowing silhouette are classic bohemian features that elevate the dress. The pattern allows for easy customization, which is great if you want to get creative with fabrics or trims.

Comfortable Fit: This dress feels as good as it looks—light, airy, and perfect for those cozy fall days.

Versatile: Whether paired with sandals, boots, or a chunky cardigan, this dress can easily transition from a daytime outfit to something perfect for a night out.

The pattern is downloadable, making it super convenient to start sewing right away. It’s become a staple in my fall wardrobe, and I’m already planning my next one in a rich autumn hue. If you’re looking to create a versatile and stunning dress, I wholeheartedly recommend this pattern.

Every Sunday, we remind ourselves why we spotlight Etsy sellers like this: because behind every digital pattern is a real human pouring love, creativity, and a little magic into their small business.

At CraftGossip, we believe in lifting up makers who keep the world of handmade alive—and we love helping our readers find their next favorite project in the process.
