Marmalade, Country Cream, Sable, Sandy, Petit Pois, Admiral, Punch. Extra tight gather along with messing around with the bleedhole stitches made my normal 32 template into a super small mini. 52.5 grams steel mix.
Up for grabs...? I'm thinking of putting a discounted price on this bag since I'm not satisfied with it. Two or three pentagons seem a bit messed up.

Wow, I just love the pictures of bags that are so incredibly precise and round. It just helps inspire me to keep practicing.

This is my first where the hexes poof out about the same as the pents. I still need to work on consistency and precision.

edit:
wow, that's embarassing... I got the fabric from hacky sack jack, who bought it YEARS ago when he was toying with stitching. he gave it to me last night. It is VERY supple and soft, which makes me nervous, so I'm keeping the bag I made with it today (which you'll see below) and not making any bags with it until this one has stood the test of time. it feels SO good, though.

Way to read Eric.
Matt, it's a pretty fly colour. I'm sure it's making Waylon's mouth water and his eyes green with jealousy.

well, actually, that edit was a response to eric's question. I didn't originally post the picture of the bag, or anything other than the pic of that strip, for that matter.
also, I've actually offered waylon half a bag's worth of that material and he turned it down because he thinks I should have something special that people can only get from me. what a guy!
the material feels wonderful... TOO wonderful.
BRICK!

here's my current for-sale stock. #131 (pink/orange/blue 10/10 blur), farthest to the right, I finished today. I made 1.75 bags yesterday, and now I hurt in the shoulders (as usual).
BRICK!

AHHHHHHHHHH that 10/10 Blur is sooooooo sick!!!!!
I'm sure a lot of people know that facile turns me on, but I guess I don't get the same feeling with prints than I do with solids. I guess maybe there are certain patterns that look amazing without print colors...? I don't know.
Matt, I can't wait to feel that facile if the opportunity arises. You certainly deserve it, especially from Jack Lentz.

one of the best looking colour combos I made!
but I think it will take one or two sessions more than normal, to fully break in (black noir is sooo thick

NIce facile there Matt.
Funny thing, I made a 10/10 with those same colours a month ago (blue, pink orange) and have one that I just cut out today........
Finally back at stitching lately, although I do not have pics yet.
I finished re-reading the dark tower series and can now put time into other things in life!
Alltheway, I have your active green and white mini finished, pm me.

Black Noir will break-in. The thickness is just a facade.

Word. That black and pink bag that people criticized that I posted a while back turned so choice after just some hand working.

Thanks man!!!!
Yes, you and Eric are right! I had one session with the bag and washed it one time before and one time after!
Now it's really choice and very soft but with the little consistency of black noir!
I love black noir for the pents, and will use it in all colour combos that you can imagine

hey eveyone, so i'm completely new to modified, really new to stitching, and relatively new to footbag.
The picture is in order of making, the newest to the right next to the golf ball.
the next two were made with the same template but the first gathered not as tight
The tighter one just doesn't play as well. I'm open to feedback, and need some suggestions on filler. Right now I have a mix of sand and lead shot size 6. Thanks everyone.

The animal print one looks sweet Erik!
Here is an order of 4 bags for Dan Ednie, one-colour jobs presumably for busking/performance:
