Sewing idea: apple pillow. Maybe a good end-of-the-year gift for a teacher? I know, I know, kind of cliche, but how fun would it be to get one of these as a gift?
You can easily make this from a t-shirt. The fringe is the bottom portion that has been cut in strips, (from side to side so it will stretch), and then sewn onto the top part. Fun and easy.
