Bags You've Made

I'd gladly send the patterns if I had them, but I can't seem to find one either. It seems to be just 6 copies of the pattern for a 2 panel. I tried making one, but I don't know how big to make the panels. It wasn't big enough, and it's a bit of a pain to try and line up the panels exactly the right way, so I gave up on it.

Thanks for the compliment, MC. Do you happen to know where that logo is from/what it means?

I do not. I (and others, I'm sure) would be interested to know what it means, if you'd be so kind

Ive seen them too, send a copy of the pattern this way as well if you dont mind!

I guess i you take a 2p pattern, and shrink it by 33%, making it so that it would take 6 to get approximately the same size as 2 of the original, assuming it is the same pattern.

@Fool- those are the coolest 4-panels I have ever seen! Is that microsuede? The scaly look makes me think microsuede.

The one you see on most of the bags is Japanese Kanji. It means Kame, which translates to Turtle. It's the logo used by Kame-Sennin, or the Turtle Hermit, or Master Roshi in the anime/manga series Dragonball. In addition to playing and making footbags, I'm a big anime and videogame nerd.

This is the first (and hopefully not the last) bag I've ever made. Kinda shotty stitching and a little small, but it does the job and shreds like a champ. I will be giving life to more very soon.

I love that look. What are the colors? Oh, and what's the template numbers? I love the low gather, but the right size. Should be floppilicious.

@magus- what material are you using? It doesn't look like ultrasuede light to me.

Magus86 · Post by **Magus86** » 15 Jul 2010 07:27

Apparently it's called "passion suede." I got it from here: http://www.distinctivefabric.com/fabric ... ct=PSUEDE1

It seems to work well enough, but I haven't had much chance to play with the two bags I made out of it. I've been trying to find decently priced ultra suede, but I think the best I saw was like 30 bucks a yard. Over here in Amish Land, we tend to be frugal people, and I don't want to spend that much on fabric so when I came across this stuff, I wanted to try it. And that site's pretty cool cuz when you register, they'll send you 5 free swatches of whatever fabric you want so you can see how it feels and everything before you waste money on it. If you don't register, or after you've used up your 5 free swatches, you can still get sample swatches, but they cost $1.00 each.

i dont know the template numbers, but its imperial blue?, orange sherbert, and yellow amaretta. super soft!

Couple more from me

Got hold of some faux-suede fabric samples, not sure if theyre actually microsuede though, but either way my next couple of bags should be interesting

Heres a sneak peek

First bag ever ^^ looks crappy but plays good ^^

Ramen God · Post by **Ramen God** » 17 Jul 2010 04:32

I bet it will play better after some more stitching practice

2nd footbag, ultrasuede soft hybrid. Maybe shouldn't have had a hybrid #2. Kicks amazingly. Plastic fill.

3rd footbag, mini, very pleased.

4th, rush job, mini, could've done better.
