I've been pretty busy lately, but had a need to make a couple of fabric-based items, which of course are Lemmings-themed.

These are probably the laziest things that I've ever made (if you can even count this as making anything, haha http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/laugh.gif" alt=":D" title="Laugh" class="smiley" />), but they're pretty handy and I'm happy with them, so I figured that I'd post them up.

Firstly, here is the Oh No! cleaning cloth. This is just an 8"x8" swatch of http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/3572894" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">my custom Oh No! tribute fabric from Spoonflower, with the white edges cut off using pinking shears. Because the fabric option that I used for this (Performance Knit - a synthetic knit fabric with excellent colour reproduction, which doesn't lose colours or fade when washed) has very good wicking properties, it makes a very good cleaning cloth.

And secondly, here's a small bag, featuring a snippet of the remainder of the custom-made Lomax fabric that I used for the lining of my Lomax-themed dice bag on the front of it. This one simply involved using the pinking shears (again) to cut out a piece of the Lomax fabric, which was then applied with permanent fabric glue to the front of http://www.bakerross.co.uk/mini-fabric-drawstring-bags" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">a 10cmx12cm pre-made drawstring bag from the online craft supplies shop, Baker Ross. I put this together in order to keep the three current http://www.storycubes.com/products/3x-rory-s-story-cubes-mix-sets" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">Rory's Story Cubes Mix expansions together within my dice bag. Since that set contains a few dice that are themed after medieval folk tales and fairytales, I figured that using fabric featuring Lomax, who is himself from the Medieval Tribe, would allow me to quickly locate that dice set when I need it. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" />
