Wow, awesome bags everyone. Loving them.

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted here. Been stitching a good bit since I'm waiting for my injury to heal. Maybe I'll post my last few bags later on, but here is my latest that I shipped out to a good friend of mine yesterday as a surprise gift to cheer him up.

Bag #68:

I started cutting out panels for a 92 panel the other day, so hopefully that goes well. Ivan was very persuasive and convinced me to "start one and stop being a pussy"

This is more or less my introduction into modified, been checking it out for a while but never registered. I've been hacking for about 2 years, but found out about freestyle and immediately switched to shreding, that was last June. Started sewing about that same time.

Wow funk, that purple and green grape bag looks lush! I would absolutely love to review one of your bags.

I just started stitching again recently so I am trying to shred with and closely examine as many bags as possible lol.

since i cant realy decide wich template style i prefer i made these 2 to break them in and make a decision. maybe it was a bad choice to use the softest fabrics i own for this but what the hell :P

Turned out way too small and a little wrinkly due to a crappy template and gathering object but it helped me learn the fundamentals quite well. Just over 40 grams of lead due to its size.

My only complaint is that a tiny bit of the last seam/knot didn't want to tuck into the bleed hole all the way. I used a single thread and tied the two ends of it together to tie it off. Any suggestions for the last seam using a single thread?

Looks good to me, maybe try a template with slightly shorter short hex sides and the long sides of the hex just a bit longer than your pents.

Ok thanks for the tips! Do you know where I can find a better 32 template? besides that one website with a bunch of patterns, i think its called footbag.org the way to print off there is confusing, and I've only found one other template, which is the one I used, and it sounds like patterns.mhansen is good but the website is always down. thanks! Also could I sell that bag do you think?
