In my opinion, the most fun about making these mesh bags is pulling together the three fat quarters and deciding what mesh and zipper to put with them. This bag has a coral reef theme with a floaty blue print for the main body, a coral camouflage print for the lining, and a deep blue for the binding. I chose a deep blue zipper and hot pink mesh.
I made
twelve of these bags in 2021:
seven in
my post for 4/9/21,
four in
my post for 6/6/21, and
one in
my post for 6/15/21. Just this year I made a Rainbow Brite themed
one for my daughter seen in
my post for 2/19/26 and saxophone themed
one for my granddaughter
seen in my post for 4/16/26. This mesh bag makes number
fifteen. It is going to a friend undergoing surgery. Perhaps she may use it to store all those many, many hospital papers after her discharge. My hope is that this bag will be a burst of color to brighten a trying experience. And, unlike well-wishing flowers, it does not need watering or other care.
This project bag is made from the
Piecekeeper pattern available in bulk from
byAnnie.com. Individual copies of the one-page pattern can be found for sale on Etsy. More details are available near the end of
my post for 4/16/26.
