D20 Dice Bag

一か月ぶりにミシン使いました。
義弟の誕生日に、サイコロ袋を作りました。卓上ゲームで使うサイコロを入れる袋です。
20面サイコロがモチーフのパッチと内布に、もう残り少なくなった(鞄で使った残り)スエード調のビニール布を合わせてみました。
オットには評判悪かったです。ガックリ。ま、プレゼントは気持ちで勝負よね。


I had abandoned my sewing machine for a month but finally got back to it to make a dice bag for my brother-in-law who plays Dungeons & Dragons.


I know nothing about D&D and I really don't understand what they do with the game master narrating the battle behind the cardboard. (You know, the S1E1 of Stranger Things.) But I know the 20-sided dice is the thing for D&D... right?


I somehow encountered this 20-sided dice printed fabric on Spoonflower, and it was green, and it reminded me of my brother-in-law (he wears a lot of green) so I got really excited and decided to make a dice bag.


This was my very first purchase from Spoonflower. It was kind of interesting to receive a piece of fabric with white border all around it (because it's on-demand printing, only the requested length is printed). I got it printed on a regular cotton fabric. The ink definitely makes the fabric stiffer/thicker compared to the white border. I pre-washed the fabric to soften it a bit but still pretty stiff.


I used the leftover faux suede vinyl (same vinyl that I used for my Clematis wristlet and Boronia bowler bag) for the main exterior. The top half of the exterior is Kona cotton so that the bag can be cinched tightly. The hot pink fabric you can see in the photo above is a scrap fleece used as an interfacing for the bottom.


There are 6 pockets inside.
I also bought a d20 patch on Etsy in green to match the d20 fabric. It was bigger than I wanted but oh well. (No fault on the Etsy seller; the size was clearly listed but I just wished it was smaller.)


The finished bag looks exactly how I imagined (well, except for the patch being bigger than I wanted) and I'm really happy with it. But when I showed it to MOTH, he immediately gave me a funny look. He did not like it. Oh well. I enjoyed making it and I'm giving it to my brother-in-law.
