Sweeeeeeeet bags Cale, especially the second one. The colors look really stellar.

And I don't think a 5-stitch has ever been attempted. I assume the bag feels super stiff, though.

I once did an entire bag with the stitches merely a needle width apart, and it took far longer than it should have. It looked terrible, played terrible, was terrible and never should have been.

Oscar the Grouch can play with it now, for it will never be seen by a human being again.

all the bags are looking awesome as always!!! paisley spikes looks pretty awesome, how does that baby play?
here are some new ones from me over the past couple of weeks.
I am breaking in the super bright green one cause the fabric seems a little too stiff... if it turns out nicely, i'll start selling bags with that and similar colors cause its hot.

I did a few oddball footbag projects in the past few weeks. Odd bags:

Image

The one on the left is a two-stitch/ 4-hole 32 made from a really big template. I sewed maybe 3-4 mm deep from the edge. I used a sewing style similar to the ones from Elemental Footbags, but it was slightly difficult to make an evenly gathered bag. The colors are Midnight and Spanish Gold, filled mostly full with 61.4 steel shot.

The extraminimini I finished Sunday at the stroke of midnight. The colors are Green Mist and Ocelot, and I filled it to 33.3 grams of the smallest lead shot I had at my disposal.

The one on the right is a bag where I tried to reuse the hexagons from a retired Elemental freestyler bag from Elemental Footbags. Most of the pents on that bag blew out, but the hexes remained in perfectly usable condition. I tried to replicate the same sewing style from that of the stitchers under Lotus' company, but it didn't go out so well. The pents are Burnt Orange, and it is filled more-than-half-full with lead and seed bead, 55.5 grams. It has four holes from too much aggressive break-in.
