Beth's first ever custom order!
A guy at work plays Pokemon, and wanted a dice bag... voila... pokemon themed dicebag in two evenings!
This is a mix up of this tutorial from Urban Threads, and the Lined Drawstring Bag tutorial from Jeni Baker, because I wanted a round base, but a slightly more robust drawstring on the bag.
Machine appliqued pokeball, which was a trial because I am NOT GOOD at it, and I forgot to remove the protective paper the first time I tried to fuse it to the bag. But it's pretty neat (for me)
He wanted teal, as apparently that's what colour all his other bits and pieces are. I'm not sure it's entirely the right shade, but it was as close as I could match. Red on blue is a bastard for me to work with sometimes, as it messes my eyes up. Thankfully this was a quick enough project that it wasn't a problem, but eeeww, looking at this now hurts.
All told this probably took about 3 hours, and most of that was faffing about with the applique and unpicking a seam that I'd managed to forget to change the bobbin thread for, so it looked weird.
When I make another (which I probably will for etsy) I'll make the drawstrings longer. They're ok, but there wasn't a lot of extra to tie off.
Teal fabric - Simply Solids
Pokemon lining - Frumble Fabrics
Pokeball - scraps from previous projects (kona red, some black I found, and Grunge white)
