Has anyone here ordered the $15 swatch sample kit before? Im curious as to how many swatches you get and how many footbags can possibly be made.
Thanks

I don't know, but a small order of facile only costs like 25-30 bucks. I don't suggest buying the sample pack to make bags.

How much would I need, say just one colour for one bag?

about 8x5, depending on how tight you pack the panels on the fabric, and also depending on the size of your template.

it would be easier to try to get toray to send you a swatch or two. but good luck, i hear they dont do that much anymore.

just spend like 15$, and get 3 .125's of a yard. that means three colors to get started with, until you get money to buy more.

one eighth of a yard can make about 7-10 bags, depending on templates.

What's the facile used on the meatbag Holly? I'm kind of interested about that.
