right you are!stiching bags is a act of free yourself from delivery times of the few stichers that were.nowaday it wouldnt be that problem,because so many guys stich...but stiching bags makes you independent from others.and you have to play your own bags,otherwise you wouldnt know how they perform!

custom making your own bags rocks cuz it's like being a jedi apprentice and making your own lightsaber, or being a ninja and crafting your own tools/weapons.

Decided to do some stitching. Lets say my first bag came out to be quiet the experience

I made it a little too small I think

This is my brother's bag, he is 13. He has some experience already. Its a LOT better than mine!

We both used some really old flannel pants and cut out 4 football shaped panels, just like the sandbag. We filled ours with rice, anything else would have torn the bags apart, lol. I totally messed up on my stitching, I know what to do now though. I must say my 2nd bag will be a lot better. Took me an hour and 45 minutes.

NICE! Throw some cordorouy patches on that thing and it'll be the Cosby bag!

Edit: Seriously dude, it's cool to see you stitching. I just think the plaid is funny. But keep goin man, stitching your own bag rocks.

Plaid is hawt man! I've got a pair of red plaid lavers. That bag would be a great match.

i have some plaid pants too...i rather bite myself in the forehead than cutting this apart and make bags out off...but damn hot to see you start your own thing tho...take some addvice from your bro,he seems to be better in this kind of stuff!

Lol, the plaid pants were in the rag box (for those messy house projects) and was the only thing I found that didn't stretch. If you guys are serious about trading, pm me

hm...what kind of advice do u need???looks good...nice pattern style...size is...ok...could be smaller,just my taste...but it looks ok.important thing is how it shreds.but that cant be judged by a pic...sadly...how heavy is it?

akalazou · Post by **akalazou** » 19 Dec 2005 12:52

its about 40 - 45 grams, the fabric is VERY smooth .. but IMO, its not heavy enough. anyway, its not for me ....

but do the stitches are ok for you ??? or they seams "the"

thx

well looks ok,to me.well the one corner of that pent is a bit...slopy stiched,but hey its your 6th bag!this happens to me still...and i made like...uhm...26...i think...uh and the pents look a bit big...to me...anyone else?

hackeysnacker · Post by **hackeysnacker** » 19 Dec 2005 13:13

I think it looks good - the size of the pent may just be due to a loose gather. Every bag u make u'll probly look back at ur last one and be dissatisfied with your previous work

. I don't think you're doing anything wrong really, just keep at it and any kinks in your stitching will smooth themselves out as you get more experience.

I've made two new bags!

This one is for Chester:

And this one is for Hohlik:

Which one looks better?

hackeysnacker · Post by **hackeysnacker** » 20 Dec 2005 13:20

Cod could u post a pic of one of ur bags after break-in? That stitching style looks pretty wicked - I think the orange/yellow bag looks the best
