Lunch Sack

We got the school list for AuBrynne this week.  I am SO happy that she is excited to be going to school! She asks several thousand times a day if she can go to school right now.  I hope its that she likes learning. 

Well, anyways, they have a list... You all know about the lists. 

There are expected things and unexpected items. 

I was expecting to see crayons, glue sticks, scissors and the like.

I was not expecting to see Slippers.  

There is a fabulous explanation!  It helps keep the classroom clean and QUIET!

I knew these were smart ladies running the place!

I am sure I could keep my wits about me better if the place were cleaner and quieter.

I jest.   

AuBrynne will also need a Cloth Napkin.

O...K...But this is so smart too!

Its for when they have lunch.  They will set their own places to eat with their napkin to define their space.

Now, I had expected to see a lunch sack on the list.  I had been thinking about this for a while. 

I wanted to make her a cute one. But I wanted it to be insulated.  So, I cut some insulation batting and sandwiched it between some oilcloth and some laminated knit. 

 I sewed it up real quick and cut the edge with some pinking shears. 

 A couple of buttons and an elastic and I have this cute lunch sack to keep the cool stuff cool and the warm stuff warm. 

It turned out pretty cute! And it can be wiped clean with a wet wash cloth. Yay!
