I know they said they would be doing a whole back-to-school episode on monday.

What are you looking for in your tote bag? Give us some specifics, so that we can give you ideas that will help. Right now, there are a lot of options...

Just think about what you'd be putting in there [size], and how difficult you want it to be to make. Do you want it like a messenger bag with a flat bottom? Do you want pockets on the inside? Zipper top? You could just cut out a couple squares [double it up at least..use lining maybe], sew 'em up, add a handle, and voila! Instant tote!

if you go to ae.com they have the best size for school!
here is a example:

allright, I have a suggestion. you can make a plain tote/messenger (the tutorial is on the homepage, I think, but if not, look it up) and then take example from the ani tee recreation vid. I.e, sew a line in shiny thread... go watch the video is what im saying...
