Bags You've Made

brian its great to see how you are experimenting with stitching, not just by altering colour combos but making realistic experiments with fabrics and templates

it would be really nice once you have used or had people use your 38 and 42 panels as well as some of your more unusual fabrics to get a comprehensive review of those and perhaps in comparison to the standard 32, both in making and playing

brian are those 32s 4 stitch's?

you ever think of making a 92 3 stitch ?

38 combo stitch. 32 3-stitch. 32 4-stitch. 92 2-stitch

@matt: Glad you like the intense experimentation. David Clavens LOVES the 42 panels, he used one of mine in about 1/2? the autumn video. That one was a 4-stitch 42. we shredded it to death.
I gave some really top players starry 32's, and they loved them. I am trying to make them 42's as well, but have been soo busy.
I will be selling a few 42's at nyj because I really think they are the BEST.
I might just make clavens a free 42 if he is willing to write a review on why he thinks its good. and ask the others to as well when I get around to making the bags. 38 is fun but i think for show only

@Zach: madness. i would consider doing a combo stitch, with the little stars as 2-stitch and the big hexes as 3-stitch. Cale made an all amaretta 3-stitch 92 at worlds that abshire bought.

and for why? he said he doesnt like 2 stitch bags...

brian, i want a 42 as well, whenever i find the time i will attempt on making one myself, but in the meantime i could get one from you, maybe trade?

No 92's or 4-stitches here, just a friendly old 32 panel, 3-stitch

Had to take a break from studying for finals. Pretty proud of it. My 16th and best yet. They keep improving I think, and I'm excited to see what my future bags will look like.

This bag was a Christmas to my student, Stefan, who I got into freestyle last week and is already stringing around 5 contacts tiltless. You'll hear this kid's name eventually. He's addicted and can't stop showing massive improvements.

Happy Jolly Days!

Nice good ol' 3-stitch there, I might have a bag to trade with you at nyj if you are up to it nick.
same style bag alf

BUUT i decided I am going to make another one to send you, a prettier one

I also want to alter the bleedholes on a certain spot to ensure no leakage.
And marco, absolutely yes. check your pms.

Sounds good, Brian. I just have to finish these damn finals and I'm freeeeeee. Then on the road trip to NYJ, I'll probably be able to whip up another bag. I'm sure we'll all be stitching on the way up there. We're stopping in Ohio, so I can probably do one then too.

I forgot to mention, I like your previous bags, as well. Interesting combinations, especially that first one.

Bag #10 from me. Couldn't wait to kick it so its got a little bit of dirt on it! The stitching is very even and consistent throughout the bag.

I've had the urge to make a 92 panel for some time now, and it seems like the perfect time to get started with winter break here!

Nice looking Number 10 dude! I have a bag I bought from Waylon with the same color combo. GooseBumps colors

This is my 17th bag. I named it "The Immuninator". I've never tried this design... or any design other than traditional 2-colored star. The design was inspired by my studying (Mircobiology final tomorrow). The red Y-shaped parts look EXACTLY like antibodies. In the top 2 pents of the red areas is where the specificity for the antibody is contained (So ready for this final

) I'm glad I chose this. I love it. It kind of helps me study too lol It kicks so nicely right off the needle though. I stitched a few flowers in between my study breaks. This one is really my best work yet... I keep saying it, but they keep improving, which is a good sign

Go Footbag! And Science!

brad, you didnt really mark all the stitches for this 92?

thats a mad mans work! i get mad when i have to cut out all these panels, and you sit down and mark every stitch... ???

will_T · Post by **will_T** » 16 Dec 2010 15:28

lol, i marked my panels the same way when i made my 92. drawing 1800 dots takes tiiiiiiiiiime! when it's done you'll never want to put it down though, a true labor of love!

great stuff everyone! loving the experimental line, brian!

Two more from me, on the right is my first facile 3 stitch. And on the left is one I made from some micro suede Zach gave me and using zachs template. It is also the first time I used a glovers needle, thx to Zach. So thank you Zach for the help.

Jiffy · Post by **Jiffy** » 23 Dec 2010 11:09

thx nick, i think once i get a little bit better and faster at making them i will start selling otherwise i wont be able to buy fabric >.<

liston319 · Post by **liston319** » 23 Dec 2010 13:32

Yeah I did mark every. single. stitch! It was worth it though because I would've been so lost without it.

A little over halfway done!

Here's an 8 panel that I made for my sister for Christmas. I have no idea what the tan material is, so she will be my test subject!
