I'm driven to create something different with my bags, so an opportunity to get sublimely creative arose with the results of asking @symatt what he'd like to see in a bag.
He surprised me with a response of Captain America. Inspritation struck me pretty solidly with that.
At first I imagined appliques cut from the same panne velvet I'd used on the exterrior in shades of red white and blue. Sadly, the appliques failed and I resorted to embroidering the Captain's sheild upon the bag with pleasing results.

at max capacity

I initially picked out the rough shape of the shield with a pattern I initially used for the applique in a single strand of floss which was later covered with the outlining done in a stem stitch. I filled in the remaining rings with chain stitches and repeated the process for the star in the center, but left the center clear of stitching, allowing the background blue to show through.

a medium bag can hold this much dice!!!

Considering I was embroidering without a hoop on a curve, I hope that alone speaks for my skill.
I'm looking forward to sharing more of these customized creations, it's a true chance to push my limits as a dice bag maker.
