a woman's hand next to a small yellow fabric pouch featuring the Eridani Light Horse faction from the tabletop game Battletech. There is a mat with measurements underneath the hand and pouch, showing the pouch to be 3 inches tall by 2 and a half inches wide. a set of 7 pearlescent yellow dice with black numbers sits near the hand to show further size reference for the pouch.

Forgot to post these! These small dice pouches themed for battletech factions can hold a full 7 piece standard dice set, or some tokens. I'm currently working on a larger pouch to hold more dice and tokens, and will post that up once I've finished a few :)

Looking for some larger Battletech communities, preferably on discord. I've only found one so far and figure there have to be more. any suggestions?

Me, ordering more fabric to make dicebags with...
Not in any hurry at all: <next morning> Your fabric has shipped!
In quite the hurry: <week later> oh we're still working on your fabric.

<grumpy fairy noises>

When I started making these bags, I was working with Jade Falcon and Ghostbear, and doing a single-color design made sense. Several of the factions are very much not single-color friendly, so I've been working on an updated set of bag designs to offer them all in multicolor, any thoughts?

It's the last few days of my shop's birthday sale, so if you were waiting for a discount, you've still got just under a week to use it!

And ordered a test print for custom flannel from a company that I've been looking at for the past year or so. Really hoping it turns out the way I need it to so I can finally make this project work!

Also got some new dice bag designs completed, fabric ordered, just waiting on those to arrive so I can hopefully assemble them. Quickly running out of flannel though, so not sure what to do about that.

May and June have been crazy busy around here, but I'm still alive! Been renovating the house and yard, but now it's too hot to really be outside and we're mostly done indoors. Still gotta finish remodeling the "craft nook". Got it cleaned, repaired, and painted, but still need to add lighting.

I finally got the designs the way I want them and can now show you guys what I've been working on :)

I present to you the Elite Challenger series of Battletech-themed dicebags!

Available in Gold or Silver appearance in my Etsy shop :)

In case anyone was wondering if I'm actually the one making these bags... yes. Yes I very much am. Snapped threads, birdnesting, bobbin snags, satin stitches, and all.

Question for you guys...

Some of my fabric prints show up and are not quite up to my standards, but they're still usable. I can just scrap them, sure, though it's a lot of lost stock. I had an idea that I could make a "B-Grade" listing for WYSIWYG bags. Worth it, or just scrap them?

The new fabric orders have arrived, and I've updated my Etsy listings as promised! I am a little concerned about three of the newer designs, so I'm going to try to fix them again before I put them up, but all the others are available :)

I just wanted to say thank you to the Battletech community for being some of the kindest and most supportive people I've met in a long time. You all have done so much for me just by encouraging me and liking my work. Thank you, truly. <3

#KofiPromoteChallenge

Now that JoAnn fabrics is out of business, I have a much more limited selection of colors for my flannel fabrics. The one supplier I still have only has 20ish colors, and since they're the biggest fish in the fabric sea, they're constantly out of stock. I'm sure their prices will go up soon, too. :(

Coming soon to the battletech dicebag/pouch/scrunchie/etc lineup: The Elite Challenger series!

I kept rolling this idea around in my head and finally just decided to give it a real shot. Will announce it in my Etsy, Kofi, and Website soon.

Also thinking about doing a birthday bash discount~

Okay, I couldn't help myself... Once I finished the bags for Nowhere's Store, I took the opportunity to snap a few photos with our #battletech kickstarter merch that just arrived last month

Here's Ghostbear~

I seriously love that new blue <3

13 colorful dice bags themed with different battletech factions

Finished a batch of #battletech dice bags for Nowhere's Store of Forgotten Lore in Springfield, MO. If you're in the area, they're a great LGS with a lot of unique stuff!

Thank you guys again, these were a ton of fun to make :)

Lifehack for anyone with one (or three) of these tiny little thread cutter blades in their sewing machine (husqvarna viking, pfaff, etc)

Part: #4124237-01 Viking Thread Knife
Cost: $3 to $11 plus shipping per blade.

Pictured: 12 part skinny snap-off knife blades for boxcutters, $3 for 5 blades

Wanted to get some sewing done while I have the day off from work, but of course I'm still waiting for the fabric I need for this project, and it won't be delivered til tomorrow. Le sigh...

Can't help worrying that JoAnn's will actually go out of business and I won't have a fabric supplier anymore

Just finally received our last pledges yesterday, so I thought I'd post a little group shot of his Jade Falcon bag and kickstarter merch, to commemorate the starting point for this whole project :) (4/4)

I rehashed the design a few times, then decided i'd like a bag or two for my own factions while I was at it. Then he mentioned more factions he likes, so I designed those too. Then I found more factions i liked... you get the idea.

Now here we are, a few years later... (3/4)

we of course backed both campaigns. I thought it would be neat to make him something to go with his collection.

Seeing as the game only uses 2 dice, i wasn't going to make such a big bag, just a little pouch, but then he pointed out that the big bag would be cool too, so I made both! (2/4)

The #Battletech bag that started it all...

I've been making dice bags for at least 13 years at this point, but the Battletech ones started a couple years ago when Catalyst did a kickstarter for the game to get mechs and faction merch. With my partner being such a big fan of the game, (1/4)

a drawstring bag made of purple and green fabric with an aurora borealis above a forest print.

an open drawstring bag made of purple and green fabric with an aurora borealis above a forest print on the outside and a dark green fabric on the inside. three different sets of purple and blue or purple and aqua dice are set in the middle of the bag inside clear plastic tubes.

Had a lot of fun hunting for the perfect fabric print for my god-son's christmas present, and then sewing a dice bag for his growing hoard. Even added a set of neat dice to accompany it :)

4 separate battletech themed dice bags. orange clan wolverine outer print with a black interior. dark blue house steiner print with a dark blue interior. blue nova cat print with a red interior and gold drawstring. green jade falcon print with emerald green interior and black drawstring.

Having way too much fun making these #battletech themed dice bags for enthusiasts of the game. I started designing these over 2 years ago and recently got asked to make a batch of them for a local game store with a regular play group. Since then, I posted them up for sale in a few places and tadah~
