My grandson is going to a small school that requests that they carry tote bags instead of bulky backpacks..There is little choice out there for boys in totes, so I had to jump off the wagon and purchased 2 yards of marvel comic book fabric, and a yard for lining...I was able to make his tote with a front pocket and a matching reusable lunch bag..Not only that I made a second set for his best friend. Technically this wasn't stash, because it was all used in about 3 hours of entering my home!! Each set total only cost me about $10!!
