Raven's mini pouch

Because I mean... there was still room in the harrow bag!

A D&D miniature of a small, older woman wearing a brown cloak over a pink shirt, holding a carved staff and with a fairie on her shoulder, beside a sized to fit red pouch made out of patches of velvetlike material, laying on a wooden table.

Oh wow, this fabric has spread itself far! It began as the harrow bag (for the harrow deck), it became the inner lining of the box of many things, it became a mini-dice pouch, it became ANOTHER lining and mini-dice pouch for the dice tower, remaining scraps from it became the patch bag, which itself became the pencil bag, more scraps became a bag for the dice tower, and now some of the remaining scraps from what became the pencil bag are becoming a pouch for the Raven and Abby mini (also there's a d20 pouch kicking around too)! So that fabric has seen some activity. And there's still a little bit left over!

So with that rectangle of patches, we debated a bit how to fold it into a pouch. I wanted the sides to be three layers of fabric to extra protect the mini, and stumbled across an idea to have the innermost layer sewn shorter, allowing a space to be left for the drawstring, and then continuing the fabric to the bottom again, and a small paintbrush worked perfectly to size the drawstring slot. I had originally planned to put the pouch inside-out after sewing the seams to hide them, but, while the mini did fit that way, it was uncomfortably tight. And I only even tested it out of curiosity, because honestly, it looks just tops being left with the seams on the outside. Very square with no bunched fabric corners (since the bottom and side involved sewing through six layers of fabric). The thread matched perfectly enough that this looks amazing this way.

And with this, the Harrow bag and accessories is complete! We have mini-dice, THREE sets in fact, one set on their own and a miniature dice tower with it's own set AND hidden spares lol, we have a pencil and eraser pouch, and now we have the mini! With a folded character sheet, this mini pouch completes the full emergency TTRPG preparation kit XD :D

A red piece of fabric made up of six rectangular scraps sewn together, and a drawstring laying above it, all laying on the dungeon master's guide book.The pouch in a partial state of construction, showing the drawstring slot being sized with a small wood-handled paintbrush, and showing that the sides of the pouch will be made from three layers of fabric.

The Raven mini sitting beside the pouch, with the side of the pouch made up from a nearly perfect grid of four patches of fabric, laying on a wooden table.

The pouch with Raven inside, and the drawstring drawn taut, laying on the wooden table.
