I have made many bags using the pet screen. You can google it and come up with a few places. I do know that Sew and Quilt Shop in Florida has it and she will ship. She has all colors. If you don't see it on the web site just call. Each piece is enough to make one large bag and if cut right you can make a small trinket bag. Hope this helps.

It's strange that I automatically opened that topic. I guess at 50, I consider myself in that category. When did that happen?

Oh, have you read the latest medical news? Severe morning sickness is now considered the mother is not drinking enough water/liquids and that will cause the abundance of hormones to bring on severe nausea. I was reading the medical journal in my Dr. office. I'm going to subscribe. It's fascinating and we never hear about this stuff. I asked my Dr. why it was in the exam room not in his office or by his reading chair.

Washing with coke was every wives dream to a fisherman ,it got the smell of his fishing job out of his work clothes. My ex used to long line out in the Bering Sea and the coke did the trick with washing powder too.

Those $100.00 pair of jeans that have rips and tears in them.
They have been advertising here that they will buy your old jeans for $10.-$20.00. I laughed because they didnt get many offers. I mean who would seriously give up there jeans once they are all broke in.?? Are they sick??
And it isn't the cola the puts all those holes in truckers jeans. Its the antifreeze the wipe off the hands on their jeans. Ha ha ha Some times the grime and grease.
I never heard of using cola to clean the bugs off the windshield. U sure that was how it worked? Sticky stuff. When you don't have water or windex I guess you use what you have right.

Those totes were all the rage around our area for a while.
We all got the screen at our local OSH, it was very wide and cost a lot less than any fabric store. It is used for re-screening .
I think our quilting group made over 2 dozen of the totes.
Lots of fun, but I found my machine did not like feeding the screen and would hang up sometimes.
Glad you found it.

I didnt know Coke would remove fish odors from clothes! I wonder if it would remove the smell of diesel fuel. My husband is retired now but he used to get fuel on his jeans at work. I never could get rid of the smell.
