Hello my name is Michelle Dorsey. \u00a0I am a pattern designer and digitizer doing business under the name,\u00a0SewMichelle<\/a>. \u00a0First of all, I would like to thank Deby for letting me appear as a guest on her blog.

I enjoy designing patterns that are easy and quick to make. \u00a0After all, isn't instant gratification what most of us are after?\u00a0 I try and design unique patterns that make you think outside the box,\u00a0yet are functional for everyday use. \u00a0I also like to incorporate different materials to spice things up a bit too.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite materials to work with is vinyl coated mesh, aka pet screen. \u00a0Some quilt shops carry this mesh in bright, fun\u00a0colors. \u00a0If your quilt shop hasn't started stocking it yet, don't worry, you can purchase it by the roll at your local hardware store, on Amazon<\/a>\u00a0or even at Walmart in their hardware section. {Deby – I found some at Online Fabric Store<\/a> too}<\/em><\/p>\n

However, these places sell it for\u00a0conventional\u00a0use and generally only stock it in charcoal, which is the basic black color. \u00a0\u00a0The brand I prefer to use is New York Pet-D-Fence. \u00a0It has enough body to keep the project from flopping over, which is important since there isn't a lining. \u00a0Yet it's easy to work with and not hard on your sewing machine.<\/p>\n

I made a Screen Cosmetic Bag Tutorial to give you an opportunity to try this product and see for yourself why it's so easy and\u00a0fun to work with. \u00a0Click HERE to visit my website and download the FREE Tutorial.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don't own an embroidery machine, you can still make the project adorable by using your left over quilt squares to adorn the front. \u00a0Or how about one of those fabric panels you just had to have that's still sitting in your fabric stash. \u00a0Just use a zig zag around the edges to attach it to the front of the bag. \u00a0Instant cuteness!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few bag\u00a0patterns that I've created using pet screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope that you'll accept the challenge to try vinyl coated mesh. \u00a0I think you'll be surprised at how easy it is to work with and how many people will compliment you on your unique bag. \u00a0Wouldn't this make a great Christmas present to make for all your\u00a0girlfriends? If you get started now, you'll be so far ahead and\u00a0might actually be able to enjoy the holidays. :>)<\/p>\n

Thanks again to Deby for introducing me to you\u00a0and giving me the chance to become friends with you too. \u00a0I hope that you will take a minute to look around my site. \u00a0I have lots of tutorials and FREEBIES <\/a>to download. \u00a0\u00a0If you are on Facebook, please look me up and say hello. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy Sewing!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
