Back To School - supplies

Today I came across two tutorials for some back to school goodies that I think are great. They were both found via The Long Thread. First is this link for a tutorial for washable snack sacks. Definitely need those. Second is this link for a super cute pencil pouch tutorial. I am also hoping to make this bag for Emma. Her backpack from last year is in great shape, so she will start the school year with that one. But, she is interested in a shoulder bag this year and while these aren't great for the back - she doesn't actually cart heavy gear yet.
