My first footbag. Pretty good for a 13 year old. What do u guys think.

not bad for your first bag...but the stitching is wayy too sloppy. Maybe you should try making 4 panels first, then try 6 panels, and so on. I think your problem was that you tried to do too many panels on your first bag. Keep workin at it and youll be makin great bags in no time!

Hey. This bag is preety good. Thats good idea to start with stiching 4 pannel bags first. I stich 4's and now i'm switching to 32's cause i ordered facile. Duckenss I'm also 12,5 yars old

another young person? I think you can check my photos in New Footbags Thread if they're still there.

Sorry for my english,
Michal

Hey! I'm 13 too, check out my bags! http://www.footbag.modevia.com/footbag/ ... 3920dd9d77 (the post in my middle)

Thats a pretty good footbag for a first one. Like everyone said, start with less panels then move up. Keep it up man.

Nice... Looks like you've got good potential. Tighten up those stitches and maybe cut cleaner pannels; you'll be pro in no time.

Keep it real

Is that crushed panne? I guess that's where the problem lies in the clean cut panels... Anyway, just tighten up the stitches and concentrate in keeping those edges inward inside the bag. You'll go pro with more consistency. Nice attempt I have to say.

Curious, what filler do you use?

Unique pattern, how many panels is that?

Cool colors, you can try making the stitches more even and gathering a little more even

From what I'm seeing it looks to be 26 panels, like a Fuzzy Alpha that's sold from worldfootbag_com to pose as an example.

Thsnks for all the constructive criticism guys. And no, its not crushed panne. It is a faux suede and another fabric. I will take heed to what u guys said. And actually its just a 14 panel from the patterns at footbag .org. Any more thoughts and advise will most definately be appreciated.

Wow, it's cool you're getting into making your own bags. I just got into it recently too, it's a lot of fun! I found the best pages for learning how to stitch are:

The Stitching guide page, located in the Sewing section of Footbag.org's forum:
http://www.valinet.com/~dbotkin/sew.html and,

The New Bags topic pages 28-44 located here on Modified, in the Bags and Equipment subforum: http://www.modified.ca/footbag/viewtopi ... &start=540

Reading those pages really helped me get a grasp on making the 32s. I know you may not want to start out with 32s, but they're really not that hard once you get the hang of it. You're just sewing 5 hexagons to 1 pentagon, and repeating that process for the rest of the bag. Remember to sew hexes to pents though, you should never have a side of a pentagon bare throughout the entire bag-making process. Give it a try.

Edit: That first link works now
