Bags You've Made

I see some minor wrinkles on the pents. The hexes are dope. Very spherical. Definitely a lot of great promise for your second.

I dont think that my gather was completely consistant, but I am not complaining. I am working on another bag right now...

Any predictions?

Man your 2nd bag looks shit hot

Predictions for your 3rd.... yeah its gonna kick ass man...

Can't belive you mark out every stich point, probley what I should do. How long does it take to finish a bag?

kehern15 · Post by **kehern15** » 08 Jul 2006 07:48

Actually, I really dont know exactly how long it takes me. Hmmmm...

1/2-1 Hr, making panels/cutting them out.
2-4 Hr, Sewing the bag.
1/2-1, Finishing the bag.

So all in all, it takes mabye 4-7 hours, and I usually spread it over 3-5 days. What about other stichers

hmmm I cut out enough panels for 5 bags to practice my stiching last week lol

If i was to stich in one sitting it would take about 5 hours but i normally just do half the bag at night then half in the morning lol

I'm still learning though atm, i know if i was to take my time they'd come out better but i just wanna make 'em and shred lol

so when they gonna be for sale/trade?

I tried to make a bag in one sitting, but I got REALLY bored, so I played my PSP. After I make this bag, I am planning to make one more bag, (for my self), and after that bag I will be willing to trade. So my 5th bag will be going out to somebody.....How about you Mowley?

Nice bag Jake, love the colors.

Mowley · Post by **Mowley** » 08 Jul 2006 14:21

Here's my last practice bag.... I've got the panels cut for one more but im trying a diffrent template for my next one (slighty bigger)

This one was a knightmare to stich, i took it apart twice

glad its finished and i can start another one

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 08 Jul 2006 14:24

to be honest, i wouldnt mind any of those bags, they are good enough for what i use these days, i think your practice is done, start trading and selling! do you use lead shot for your filler, if not, get to it!

Mowley · Post by **Mowley** » 08 Jul 2006 14:34

I'm trying a slighty bigger temp this time round (hex length is 0.80 pents are 0.80 and the short side is 46%)

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 08 Jul 2006 15:48

yeah those look great, higher quality than i have seen.

vettehunter123 · Post by **vettehunter123** » 08 Jul 2006 16:41

My first 32.

I stayed up until 5 this morning to finish it.

Mowley · Post by **Mowley** » 08 Jul 2006 16:45

looks good for a first man...

They could do with a little more gather, but that'll come, I still ain't got my gather down and i've made 5 bags in 6 days lol

whats it made of? filled with? how much does it weigh?

vettehunter123 · Post by **vettehunter123** » 08 Jul 2006 16:52

More gather? I'll try that next time.

It's filled with BB's and plastic pellets and made with ultrasude light. I don't have a scale so I don't know the exact weight but after comparing it to my Hackeysnack I'd say about 35-40 grams.

I want to start another but I ran out of ultrasuede.

hackeysnacker · Post by **hackeysnacker** » 08 Jul 2006 17:29

yeah, try more gather + bigger hexagons, your stitching should even out if you just keep focused and keep making bags. Also, flange pops out between stitches [usually] when the stitching is too shallow or there is too much space between stitches.
