thanks, bigdirtyfoot, Pete!)
Yes, I'm selling my bags. If you like, you can test them at the Worlds. Just come to the Russian team and ask anybody about leshbags) Maybe I will give the bags on the foto to Oxana, a Russian shredita, to bring them to the Worlds:

This is the last footbags I made)
Pete, your first 32 panel bag it very good. But why don't you want to make a pattern by yourself? It's easy, you just make a pentagon with equal sides (side's length is about 20 mm) and hex with 10mm and 20mm side's length... Or maybe I don't understand something))

it's not that i didnt want to make em myself but that it took me a very long time to sew my 32 and if i made an error in the patern, i'd be wasting my time... so i was waiting for someone to show me a little more how they were made... and someone did so i'll be doing a new 32 today... diffrent colours though.

i'll post pics when i come back from vacation. monday or tuesday....

hey yáll...i wanna complain about something....might be the wrong place,but i dont care:can it be that most of the people in the world cant use a photo camera?i mean,if someone posts a bag,i wanna see it!realy,but if the pics are made from so near that u just can see some colourish and round thing....come on,what good is this?

so please....i ask all of u guys to post pics where u actually cann see the bags!and i mean sharply.

thanks

ps:new bags are in the making...i´ll post some pics soon! :D

Here's a bag I just finished today, I could've finished it last night but I saved the hidden stitch for a help vid I made for the hidden stitch. I'm done with it, but I'm having troubles uploading it to footbag.org - BUT ANYWAYS "going off of point", here's my bag, BB pellet filled, cheap cloth from shirts, used floss as thread.

Image

And yes...that is the "soon to be" great :.Joe.: you see behind the bag..

Image

A little closer look at it.

Good? Yes? No? I think it's a tad bit wrinkly, but it's weight is just heaven.


Would anyone "In the continental US" like to try out one of my bags? I'd like to send one out and get opinions from a seasoned shredder on how well it stalls, breaks in etc. It'll be free, I'll pay for the shipping and everything.....

tips:


-smaller pents, larger hexes
-gather more for mushroom-shaped panels
-stitch closer to edge of panels for quicker breakin-more risky method tho
-more practice
