never sewed or stiched before

[flockpocken]

i've never sewn, stitched, or knitted anything of anykind in my entire life... i would like to start making bags.

first i just wanna try something easy like a four pannel made from a rag or somethin... nothing big.

anyone got any suggestions where i can learn?

i couldnt find anything on making a mr. sandbag-type pattern. i found a different type of four panel pattern but i didnt like it.

if you're looking to make a mr. sandbag-like footbag this website shows you step by step:http://members.accesswave.ca/~derekn/ha ... eintro.htm

also if you're just starting out, you may want to try making the bags out of some old t-shirts instead of getting ultra suede light or crushed panne right away.

hope this helps,
Peace.

ya... lol.. im gonna use some old boxer shorts.... i looked up ultrasuede and saw it was 50 bucks a yard!

DONE! i filled it with cat litter and BB's. i couldnt figure out how to do a blind stitch from the outside. and its pretty big and leaks. but its ok for my first one right?



the one on the right is a mr sandbag... just to compare

I'm realling getting angry trying to figur out the 4p. I can stitch 2 of the panels together, but i can't figure out haow to add the other two panels!

NVM figured it out!

ok when u have the first 2 together. put the third one kinda inside those 2 to where the curve that ur sewing lines up... lemme get a picture real quick.

ur gonna line up the circled section on the left with the section on the right
