Bags You've Made

Hi modified,

I know its been awhile, but now I've found some time to upload pictures of some particular bags I made recently. I hope you all enjoy them!

This bag was made for Katya Sorokina, a fellow NYFA member. Squishy soft!. Made with Colonial Red, Saffron, Willow, Green Mist, Blue Hawaii, Opal. 50 grams steel shot.

Replacement 32 for Aaron Gerlich, a kicker in New Jersey. Black Noir, Flash Red, Tangerine (ultrasuede soft), Tulip (soft), Active Green, Splash Blue. 55.5 grams lead shot.

This is a prize bag I made recently for the Cornell Footbag Jam last weekend. It went to Jorden Moir. Splash Blue, Midnight, Neon Lime (soft)spikes. 55.5 grams steel shot.

That's all the recent photos I have of my updated stitching style. I have pictures of bags I made before Worlds, but I don't think they fully resemble my newer stitching method these days.

Wasabi cool bags...But is the combinatnation between normal ultrasuede and soft good?Or it doesn't matter?

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 31 Oct 2007 11:28

I don't think it really matters that much. If you want my opinion, weak facile really hinders a bag's longevity.

Here are some good tips:
1. If you insist on using weak facile, a good backing is necessary so that it won't bust holes. Finding a good backing, so that it doesn't make the facile stiff, is extremely hard, but when you find one that is flexible and functional, it will work to your benefit.
2. Using ultrasuede soft has its merits. Here's what you do: Carefully wash your ultrasuede soft (nonchlorine bleach, soft soap, etc. - whatever is necessary in a way), rinse and dry it well, and then iron it on its bad side so that you can make the fabric thinner. Repeat if necessary.

I understand that Ultrasuede Soft is way thicker than facile, but it's better to have a strong and thick color than to have a thin color busting holes on a bag that is only half-way broken in. Why limit to only using facile? I think that's silly. Fabric is fabric. It's how you use it. It's not like you're using butter/microsuede with facile, or even Amaretta suede, and even then it's how you arrange the material to a 32 panel's structural integrity.

Sick bag mate!! Are you selling your bags? Do you have paypal?

shortis · Post by **shortis** » 01 Nov 2007 03:28

Yes I have paypal account, but I based yesterday only. At first I must try it, becouse I never used paypal for request money, but only for paying on eBay. When will be it allright, I start sell bags about 25USD.

more info later

Jozef, I really like the bag with the pastel colors, and that far off background is really cool. Once again, you made a color choice that I really like

Wow, sweet bags wayway! I'm like really loving spiked bags. They used to have such small spikes, but now they're so wild. Jozef, those are really nice, well stitched, great colors!

The facile "bridges" connect the radiations of their own color. Active green and green grape with midnight surrounding hexes. I kicked with it once. The bridges wing out when the bag is in the air, it looks pretty cool, and plays great.

edit: SOLD, thanks

So it has been quite a while since I posted a bag. I have made a few other than this but sold them before I got a chance to take a pic of it.

This one is a replacement for Manna. His bag was the first bag I have ever made where a stitch popped! I am 100% sure it was the thread. Upholstery thread is pretty slick, although strong, but it works itself out of almost any knot I can make it into. So I am back to the trusty old button thread. Nice and strong, and grippy to itself.

This one is flash red, giraffe and cameo, weighs 61g. Lead and steel shot. One of my favorite colour combos ever.

this page is SWEET! Roy, SO cool. Brian, I love the tiny ones. Andrew, that bag is so beautiful. Nice Post. Dan, haven't seen your stuff too much, I don't think. Nice bag. Jozef, as always, great color choices, and nice stitching

I have been experimenting!

Ok, here it is,

2 stitch made out of Euro. Pig Suede. Thats right, real leather. this stuff is super sweet. Same thickness as ultrasuede light. Super durable super soft and this thing can stall on anything! I stalled it on the tip of the toe of my shoe. I just finished it tonight, I plan on playing the crap out of it so look forward to some posts on the break in process. Otherwise without saying anyone would assume its facile! Sorry colors are crappy, I got the suede as a free sample so I did not have a choice

here it is
