Small bag. My daughter asked me to make a triangular bag for her partner's cords for his mobile phone, watch and a lot more. So I stitched some jeans strips together for the outer fabric and added initials.

Americans may have a good laugh at those initials. I had to hear his anecdotal story to realise that RPG meant rocket propelled grenade.

Oh, he will be thrilled with this new bag. It can be so difficult to find appropriate fabrics when we need them for the men in our lives. The denim was a great choice here, and I like the monogram style as well.

Thank you. I like the reuse of denim for all sort of things.

Thank you. I have not embroidered a lot lately other than occasional requests as I did a lot of knitting and sewing.

A clever design to meet his needs. And the story of the initials adds to the interest.

I like the yellow on the denim and good use of design. This reminds me of the shape of the phone holders I just made. Gives me another idea for next trip, thanks!

I think it's more or less the same pattern and easy to make.
I made my first one using two quilted blocks and stitched bias tape around the exposed seams. This time I lined it properly and that took some puzzling out how to do that.

Add another meaning: A role-playing game (RPG) is a game in which each participant assumes the role of a character that can interact within the game's imaginary world.
Well done! It is good to see more of your work!

I love this Martene. Great choice of fabric too. It is so difficult, I find, to embroider or make something for men. As an American, I've heard of RPG but didn't know what it represented....maybe would have to be a military person. I don't know gamer's either so didn't even know a game was out like described below. But, another great project.
