I wish I had a great story, but I really don't. It is quite simple actually; one day a friend of mine said I should make clothing so I did.
I wish I could say I started because I could not find any cute clothes for my kids, but surely that is not a problem. I wish I could say I am a "designer", but I pretty much just consider myself a girl who can't stop her brain from spinning.
The one thing I do not have to wish for is a great family and group of friends. These guys are what makes Matilda Jane rock. They are loyal and well-loved. They are also very patient for putting up with me and the ventures I pursue, sometimes on a whim. Oh, I do love them all.

Julia D….that is hysterical! My son is currently using a Crown Royal bag to carry his grenades in. I think I see a new use for our mesh bags!!
I laughed at the roayl crown one too. thanks for the giggle. The clay idea is genius.
Lol! I used to keep my checkers in my dad’s crown royal bag and my crayons in his old cigar boxes! I stll keep my kids crayons in his old cigar boxes! He passed away in March and it makes my smile every time I take the box out for color time!
I am going to use mine as party favor bags for my daughter’s birthday party.
My daughter is three, and she LOVES MJC!!! She is usually in MJ everyday. If i try and put a different outfit on her she will start to look around the pants and shirt and always lets me know…”Mommy, this ISN’T Tilda Jame!” as she calls it! So we have plenty of mesh bags and she uses them to seperate all her princess/doll clothes. She loves to play house with them so I used a couple to make cute little curtains and a blanket for her Bamboletta doll that she plays with in her house. She calls it her Tilda Jame house and of course she always has to be wearing MJC to play in it!
I use a couple of mine to wash my daughters MJC socks and leggings in, one bag holds all of our MJC tags, another one holds all my favorite loose ribbons, a couple are used to organize scarves and lastly one is used to save swatches of my favorite fabrics(one day they will be used for a quilt!) FUNNY, we use one to hold all the other mesh bags in.
We are getting a new kitten tomorrow and I’m thinking we should use one for her kitty nip.<3
I LOVE the bug catcher idea. My little man is ALL about the bugs. Current career goals at 4 include: bug scientist, glider (paratrooper), and great dancer. The first one though is what he is ALL about. We carry bug habitats in our cars so he can keep his bugs when he grabs them. I like the bag idea better. Less space and he can carry them around.
yeah the clay idea-how creative is that
love it!
I don’t know if my girls are going through a growth spurt or what, but they are constantly hungry lately. I put one mesh bag in the pantry and one in the frig and filled them with “anytime snacks.” It’s easy for my kids to grab a healthy snack and they know just what they can have and where to find it. The bags are perfect! It’s easy to grab them on the go for long car rides or other outings too!
Hello. To the woman who lives in the Chicago suburbs and uses them for pads, I have a ton for you if you would like them. I am a tk in Arlington hts. And would be happy to get them to you. My email is [email protected]
I have never posted anything on the Blog before so Im ot sure if I am doing this right. I LOVE the Mesh Bags from MJ. I have made several drawer sachets from them. I put different scents of potpourri in them and put them in my daughters drawer and I have even placed them behind my folded towels on the shelf in my bathroon. We love it because everything smells so nice, fresh, and clean. My favorite potpourri is Summer Sorbet from Aromatique and a generic lavendar potpourri I found on sale at Hobby Lobby. Hope many can use this idea. It really is nice!!
We love our mesh bags. They are perfect for organizing my daughters drawers. I love how they keep socks, tights, leg warmers, neat, and oh so cute. Everytime I see them I’m reminded of our favorite MJ goodies. it makes me smile. Also make great back pack organizers.
