Sorry if I horned in nursie... I was just kind of excited to see the screen tote. I loved making them. (kind of like the bow tucks, you can't just make one! LOL!) I made these as christmas gift bags with the light aqua with snowmen and red with penguins...

This is the site of the lady who made the first pattern with the pet screening. She has tons of patterns there to see. It is called screen play ...

Great job! Love the colors. Here's a site that sells the mesh cut especially in tote sizes (36" x 18") and in several colors:

The shipping is reasonable to the U.S. and Canada.

HTH!

I will have to look for the pattern you used. It looks like a nice size and I think I have some 18 x 35 size pieces of screen left. I am glad you mentioned the size screen your pattern used. Thanks.
