Description EDIT: This bag is now for sale!  That's right, all who have wanted to purchase a D20 bag from me in the past, here's your chance to get one for cheap!  I'm asking $50 plus shipping--which is great deal considering if I were to remake this bag now and sell it, I'd have to ask at least $150 to cover materials, time, and the MONTHS I spent developing the newer, improved pattern!  Yes, it is the original D20 bag, so it isn't as smooth to open as the new design, and the zipper is a little rough, but that's also why it's on sale.  Note me if you're interested!


With Dragon*Con coming up, I decided I needed a new, sufficiently nerdy purse to carry around, because the three rules of cons I learned last time I attended a con of any kind were hand sanitizer, comfy shoes, and a bag of some kind to carry phone/wallet/etc. So this is what I came up with for the purse: a d20! (As many of you know, the 20 sided dice is the "action" dice of D&D and many other tabletop roleplaying systems. D&D is my flavor of choice, generally.) The body is made with a plastic canvas base covered in a (really cheap) canvas-style cloth that I painted entirely in acrylics because I didn't like the color that much, and the acrylic layer will help protect it from raveling at the corners. All the numbers are hand painted on as well, and are done in exact replication of an actual d20, right down to which way they're angled. Each equilateral triangle is 3.5 inches long, making the entire purse about 8 inches in diameter. The lining, although I couldn't get pictures of it, is a lobster print, so I've got dice on the outside, lobster on the inside! (I have a weird liking of lobsters--not as food, but just as an awesome animal.)

AWESOME! O.O
You should totally try selling this (or maybe just the pattern) on etsy. I'm sure tons of people would be interested in one or the other.

Thanks!  These turn out so well, but they take ages to make (because of all the hand sewing mostly) but I'd have to ask such a high price I doubt they'd be picked up enough to make it worth my time.  Which is sad, because they turn out so good.

Hence the idea of just selling the pattern with a how to make your own instructions

It's pretty complex.  I wouldn't trust people to actually be able to recreate it without a high level of crafting ability.

Still beats the pattern going to waste, but was just a thought.

Nice. If I didn't fail so hard at zippers, I'd try this. Maybe a d10 for the WoD kids. Or a d30 for that one freaking chart in 2E.

I didn't have too much difficulty with this zipper (and I have next to zero zipper experience) but I got a bigger, chunkier one to work with, and entirely hand sewed it, so it wasn't too bad. D10s would make equally awesome purses, though! Maybe a d10 coin purse ... Dang, now I'm going to have to try making one!

That's awesome! I'll have to try to make one myself (maybe with hard leather or something), once I figure out how the hell I should do it XD

angermuffin In reply to Hayazaki-Iroke [2012-06-29 20:46:17 +0000 UTC]

Hard leather would work fine, I'm sure. Good luck! I'd love to see yours when you're done.

Eehee, this is absolutely awesome! If my sewing skills weren't downright pitiful, I'd have to mimic you. Maybe a d4 might be more up my alley, with fewer seams to get tangled in...

So much win right here. It's worth the $100, don't undersell yourself! If I had the money to spend I'd put you through all that hard work again for one myself.

Thanks so much! I appreciate it. Maybe I'll add d20 purses to my list of commissionable stuff just for the heck of it and see if anyone bites.
