well ive decided to start using full gather on my bags, and it turned out pretty nice actually.

cool... i prefer bags with a good amount of gather... i don't make mine with full gather, maybe like half or a little more... it makes the bag look healthy and plump.... bags with hardly any gather just look dead to me

Hi all!
I would like to ask you, how do you make bags? Thus how many stitches are on one side... and all that... Thanks a lot!

Pretty loosely. I think 4 stitch bags are horrible if you gather them tightly, because the seams become massive.

Sorry, my profile is a bit out of date. I don't have an internet connection at home so i can't use any messaging programs like msn.

Toby, thanx. I'll loosen the gather a little more on my next bag. Here's my third bag, came out TINY, but it came out way better than my other 2. I did the 4-stitch, but gathered tightly

. Here it is:

The colors are Graphite and Bone

if you want to stitch tightly, then just do six holes, as to 4. ive had trouble learning how to use a lot of gather now, and wish i would have learned earlier, not that its necceasary to gather or anything.

a mcdonald's four panel

number 4, Ivory, Graphite, and Navy. I've named it the everlasting gobstopper because of the puffed up panels

this one is a tester. dont mind distasteful colors. bag is meant for playability only.

Cool bag Brian

mahhkohh · Post by **mahhkohh** » 23 May 2006 13:06

brian, this bag is so sweet, super cool colors, i like em alot.... realy.... sweet thing.

@zeroman: try too stich it more even, try too draw the stich points on the fabric, this may give nicer bags, also... i think your corners look strange. do you use two or one hole for the corner stiches??? but nice work man, keep it up!

Thanx for the advice Mahhkohh. That bag there was my second attempt at the 4-stitch pattern. It came out better than my first attempt but still too small!

Here's numba 5. It's my elite bag, made with ultrasuede elite. Very soft, by far my best bag.

Thanks Marco.

How do you get them to be round? That one was close to being round, but not quite.
