For me, a 14 pannel took me 4-5 hours.
hmm. take more time to make them maybe? it looks like the green one coulda been made in 10min. no offence but that red one is so much cleaner.
looks like your gather amount is diffrent on every panel.

None taken, constructive crit is always helpful. I'll make sure to be equal when sewing.

Hi!

I’m a hungarian footbag player. My mother produces bags. I think she makes them very good.
I need your help! Please tell me what kind of matter do you produce your bags ( if its possible please tell me the exact name of the matter ). I saw on the pictures, that you all make them from a similar matter, and they are like Carol produces. If it’s not a big problem, please tell me where can i order from this matter

Thanks for your help

The matter, or Fabric that we use is Ultrsuede Light. you can order it at www.fieldsfabric.com

What does your mother use to make her bags?

i was thinking, matter as in what makes up its mass, as in filler, maybe?

thanks again!

You can order as little as 1/8 of a yard Peet. i think that ranges from $3.75-$6 depending on which color you wanted. im not sure if they ship outside of US and canada though...

since u can order by 1/8th a yard that means if u want like 2 yards of something u can get 16 different colors instead of only 2 different colors. I'm pretty sure field's ships outside of the US and Canada, I recall O'Wheel mentioning ordering from them and he's in Australia.

check this thread out before u commit to any certain colors, not all colors will work well for 32 panel bags.

I think they can ship it to Hungary, because if i go toward on the order list i can choose hungary for the place they send/ship.

I really like that blue to green one, Matt. Nice work, I envy you stitchers.

Matt, that's a beautiful bag, how does it play?

Cory, you said you're a crafty guy in another thread, you should give stitching a try. It's really gratifying to make your own footbag and play with it.

Salt · Post by **Salt** » 09 Apr 2006 17:08

Well, I'm sure I could handle stitching a bag, I just have no idea where to start. I'm not too great figuring out visually what to do by reading how.

Maybe someday if I ever meet with a stitcher, I can get them to show me the ropes.

Matt_mcfarland · Post by **Matt_mcfarland** » 09 Apr 2006 17:12

it plays nice, a bit large though.

Jdigges · Post by **Jdigges** » 09 Apr 2006 18:37

Go to GRASS cory. There will be more stitchers there than i can count on two hands. im sure one of us will have time to give you basics. You could even get a panel pack off of tom and peng

Matt, the second pic of your bag is now my wallpaper. Beautiful!

mc · Post by mc » 10 Apr 2006 06:16

yeah, I'm loving all these super-artsy shots with beautiful footbags. I'm definitely liking the mirrors, it's so nice to see almost the whole bag.

Salt · Post by **Salt** » 10 Apr 2006 12:04

It's probably possible to get the entire thing into a shot, get a glass surface and set up a mirror under that. It'd take some tweaking and a tripod, but the final shot could be quite interesting
