Caren,
Wow, Anchorage, Alaska.  Bet it's cold up there!
As for your athletic mesh, you bet you'll need some form of stabilizer to 
support the stitches.  I do recommend two pieces of cut-a-way however you will 
probably be able to see the white backing through the holes in the mesh.  I 
would then recommend using the polymesh backing as it would be semi transparent 
but if you really want to get creative...  run to your local material store (or 
Walmart) and pick up some rather stable fabric the same color as the athletic 
mesh to use as a stabilizer.
I once tore a hole in a black athletic mesh cap and wound up using some black 
iron-on adhesive patch material I picked up at Wallyworld (Walmart) late one 
evening.  Wouldn't you know it, this cap wound up looking better than all the 
rest of the caps in the set.
Also, use a ball point needle as this will tend to not cut holes as easily in 
the frail/stretchy mesh.
Best of luck to you.
PS. We had a temperature of 76F today down here in Southern Louisiana.  What's 
your temperature up there?  Google Earth has pictures of your town without snow 
on the ground.  Go figure?
