First time sewer and tried my best to follow your instructions and I think I did reasonably well. You were very clear in your direction and once I figured out what pinning was it made everything easier.

[@bertkelher4970]

I made your smaller dice bag a while back at the start of the pandemic after I had been sewing masks for a little while. I made this one today after sewing masks for months. Thank you for easy to follow instructions. Once again, I made a thing!

[@singing_sunflower]

Thank you! I just made (a downsized) one for myself and I'm going to make one for all members of my d&d group for Christmas :D

[@TheOneTAR]

Suzanne Bilous that's a genius Xmas gift idea!

[@michellekoopmans852]

Would you mind sharing what sizes you used for the downsized version? Tia!

[@user-bk1tw8vf2x]

Thank you again Tiffany, I love your video! It was great meeting you at the Alliance Open House!

[@cindinybo260]

I’ve seen many sewing tutorials and your humor made this one great! Thank you.

[@jada13jada]

I just made 2 of these tonight for my husband's dice! So easy! I saw this video probably 6 months ago, but just got around to making some. Thanks so much!

[@bridgd5962]

1st time sewer here and I love you videos even though I'm just finding them. Thank you totally made my son a nerf bullet bag (dice bag) super easy instructions and love your personality. Thanks again!!!

[@Elkae]

I just made one and you emailed the end result! Thank you so much for posting this - between watching this, then reading the written tutorial, and then re-watching & pausing this video while I made it, as a low-skill sewist I felt confident going in.

[@ediedarleneedgmon5301]

This is an excellent tutorial & I really enjoyed your personality; you’re awesome. This is the best drawstring bag tutorial that I have found, thank you.😘👍🏻

[@allenmarlborough9807]

Exactly what I needed. Never used a machine before and was really successful with this method! Now to make many many many more...

[@JasonfromEarth]

Gonna follow this guide for a new dice bag this week. Thanks!

[@aprilchaney250]

I've made 4 of these for my D&D group. They've all loved them. :)

[@exertionofprivilege6127]

I love that you get your drink on while doing the vid!

[@starbody]

Thanks so much for the video and the blog instructions. Totally agreed that these are addictive! I made a handful of these and they were super easy w/the help of your clear instructions.

[@ediedarleneedgmon5301]

I’m using your basic design for a car trash bag without the drawstring; LOVE this video, you are hilarious!!!!

[@Henchatchensen]

I just made this bag for a friend and their son. I wrote down the instructions but loved the visual

[@monikavontagen]

Combined your amazing pattern for the "cross-bottom" bag with the separate drawstring tunnel from "Easy Drawstring Bag by Mister Domestic". Definitely a bit trickier but the result is amazing looking. Made a bag with a beige/brown Lama pattern on the outside, a purple lining, and a black drawstring tunnel. Love it! Your pattern was was got me started in the first place. Thank you, Tiffany!

[@CRL888]

Been coming back to this tutorial every so often for the past few years. Not sure if you’ll see this or not but the link to the written instructions isn’t working anymore. That aside, great tutorial (obviously as I’ve been coming back to it over and over again).

[@winterzee]

You have a freearm sewing machine. That's what is exposed when you take the extension table off. Thank you for the tutorial, I've been wanting to make a bag exactly like this.

[@DetectiveGesicht]

this was sew easy to follow! made this bag over 2 hours with a few trivia game breaks. thank you!

[@Skolburn]

This is prefect, exactly what I was looking for.

[@crystlebellows4443]

Made some if these for my party 😍 Now, if only I can figure out how to add pockets... Thanks for this!!

[@Sigilien]

Hi Tiffany! I was wondering, is there a way to make those pockets/segments inside of these, so you can sort your tokens/dice/whatevers? Can you do a tutorial on that too? Because I love this bag, but I have no clue how to to the pockets

[@EquineMajor22]

Thanks for this tutorial! I've been able to make custom dice bags for each member of my party.

[@TheOneTAR]

Perfect! That was my goal, for folks to make and gift them :D

[@Moosical97]

Did you post the text version with your notes anywhere? I love this bag and have made one, but I want to make several more. I keep having to watch the video for measurements and stuff because I am terrible at taking notes! lol. Thank you!!

[@TheOneTAR]

I have FINALLY written them out! Link in the description!

[@teagan_p_999]

Ooh, nice. Just what I was looking for, it might be a little big, it will be for my DnD/roleplaying dice, but I want to have a big bag with room for lots of dice.

[@rennyandhercookies]

A tip! You can use your hair straightener (if you have one), that helped me a lot better than an iron to get the seams even

[@1upRosie]

Thank you! This was very easy. I make a batch of dice bags for our Extra Life charity event. Last year I used a differently tutorial for a round-bottomed back and this one was much quicker and I love how it stands open. You mention a blog in your video with the instructions but I don't see it. I've got a bunch more to make and the paper instructions for reminders as I go would be great. Thank you!

[@TheOneTAR]

Oh yay! I'm glad they worked out. I didn't actually end up putting the instructions on my blog, I need to do that :( Adding a note to myself now!

[@1upRosie]

Thank you! I've made so many now I can do it from memory haha. I'll send you a pic when I'm done. Debating if I want to stick with paracord or find another drawstring material that's less stiff.

[@Pitye]

Cute!

[@TuberculosisRose]

Ahh thank you! I need a dice bag, but I have a problem and own like 300 dice (with a fuckton more on the way after all these lovely dice kickstarters), so I may have to double the size of the bag...

[@momorosario3800]

i play dnd... and if you saw the amount of dice sets I have this bag is just the size i need. also i put my miniature in a tiny box and put it in there too. this is great totally making this.

[@TheOneTAR]

Yay! I'm glad it worked out well for you! It's a big ol' bag for a big ol' dice collection :)

[@muziknrd]

Does anyone have the blog post link? I would like the printed instructions as well

[@gabrielpetkac8658]

I think you forgot to mention around the 5:30 area that the hamburger half needs to be sewn together. The half fold so that after you finish doing the bottom that the fabric takes a bowl shape.

[@gabrielpetkac8658]

After micro viewing the section, at 5:40 you have about 1/4 second where your hand starts to go down the side I mentioned but it never goes all the way down.

[@TheOneTAR]

Gabriel Petkac I meantioned it at like 5:40, and show it :)

[@gabrielpetkac8658]

Thanks so much for replying! I went right to your channel to see if you had any other dice bag tutorials because I liked your last one so much. Keep up the good work!

[@minguad]

This bag is exactly what I’m looking for but I want to make it slightly smaller. Does anyone have a recommendation for fabric cuts instead of using the 9x18?

[@luciamoreno2968]

love it :3

[@amycropley828]

Where did you get your fabric from ? It’s amaxing !

[@TheOneTAR]

I got it from Joann's right after a Star Wars move came out. They had so many Star Wars prints!

[@lilataylor7825]

I wish you had a tutorial for this bag but with pockets on the inside for the dice!

[@starrysonnet9746]

I fudged around w this pattern a little cause I too wanted pockets! What I did was: How ever deep you want the pocket double that for height and make the length like 18.5 inches (or longer depending on what Seam allowance you want) then fold it in half wrong sides facing out, the. Sew along the one long side and one short side (or half way up the last open side too if your comfortable w that) then flip it inside out so the seams are on the inside! Then tuck the bit of unsewn fabric in and stitch it closed! Then BEFORE YOU SEW the inside of the bag closed sew the pocket tube thing you just made onto the inside fabric by matching the bottom of your tube to just above the ^ point in the cut inside fabric! If you want smaller pockets just measure out how many you want (I usually can fit 4 to 6) and sew the sections down (I usually back stitch over it a couple times but you don’t have to) then follow the pattern as your supposed to by sewing the inside fabric like instructed!!

[@jedediahgordon4064]

the gap you turn it inside out from, if you put the gap at the bottom of the bag it will hide the awkward section of the seam better. since its in a less visable spot

[@ink5665]

But you need that gap for the draw string, so it's got to go up top, yeah?

[@jedediahgordon4064]

@@ink5665 not the drawstring gap, I mean the gap you leave in the stitching to flip the bag after stitching it together.

[@jedediahgordon4064]

the flip at the 8:30 mark

[@ink5665]

@@jedediahgordon4064 as far as I'm aware, it's the same gap. She mentions it's the turning gap and the drawstring channel.

[@disturbedpyro4511]

I just started Star Wars Destiny. I use a Jango and Boba Fett deck. It snatches up resources like a vacuum. I've never sewn before but now I want to try and make these awesome bags. How many D&D dice will this hold? I am currently using a Crown Royal bag and it's almost full.

[@TheOneTAR]

Disturbed Pyro I have five and a half sets in my bag and it makes 1.5 layers in the bottom of the bag, if that makes sense.

[@disturbedpyro4511]

TheOneTAR oh wow! That's quite large. Well now I know im making one. My mom even offered to help me sew it.thanks for the extra info. One more quetion. Could I make it a little taller?

[@SYBEX21]

It's called a free arm. Love the video, keep up the awesome work, sooo need a dice bag with pockets and this fits my sewing style perfectly. Scotch, whiskey or is that bourbon?

[@TheOneTAR]

I can't remember! It was probably a whiskey? I have all three in the house and I rotate through, but I definitely drink more whiskey and bourbon than Scotch, so it's a safe bet, haha.

[@SYBEX21]

Can I ask a stupid question...trust me, I tested it. How would you add pockets to that bag? Also no; I have way toooo many dice for DnD and the size is perfict.

[@TheOneTAR]

@@SYBEX21 I would likely add a lazy pocket to the liner, before attaching the liner to the outside. Lookup how to add an outside pocket to something, and then just do it to the inside. I also have had this question before and I'm noodling another video.

[@SYBEX21]

@@TheOneTAR I would love to see another video, with a whisky. Cheers. Thanks for the help and info.

I gotta find some fabric....

Where do you find all these amazing pieces of fabric?!

I believe I just raided the kids section at a JoAnns for them

You're fucking great! This was so entertaining!

[@smithjones5596]

Helpful vid but I found the last section to do with sewing for the drawstring etc to be confusing and a bit all over the place:(

[@skyr.8456]

Bold of you to assume im not using this as a template to make an even bigger bag to hold all my dice

[@AndrewChristopherEnriquez]

makes me wish i was a sewer, sewnman...seamster? what ever you call a male seamstress

[@AlexEding]

Andrew Enriquez anyone can be! just gotta try for the craftiness!

[@joaovitorborges4012]

Andrew Enriquez A male Seamstress is a tailor

[@TheCuteAngelic]

BTK No. A male seamstress is not called a tailor, those are different occupations. Both men and women can do tailoring. A man may be called a dressmaker (though this generally refer to those who do garments) A man who sews but do not tailor may also be called a clothier. Other words for a person who sews (that are not based on gender) are sewer, Sewist (sewing artist), sewing enthusiast, textile or fabric artist and maker or crafter.
