Jozef, i still want that pink and red planetfootbag 32. :P Can you put in a good word to Alex Trenner for me, since I think those bags will be going to Austria? I have other items that I'm going to buy off of him, and I think I have enough money saved up.

kidzanshin, you're using the 2 stitch sewing method. Bags get krinkly and wrinkled too easily that way. I think you need to loosen up your gather just a bit, and maybe go with a smaller template in general. Also, be sure to keep your panels aligned and perfectly straight, so that you yourself can guide your eyes and needle through a straight path in general.

i like the top left one the best, something about the stitching is a little different but i enjoy it.

How long does it take you to make a bag? i couldnt imagine doing 4 in a day. it would be toture.

actually stitching is exactly the same, violet fabrick is much thicker, so it looks different :D

I think 4 bags in one day is my record --> 4x1,5h

Hania, you are so amazing.

I love your bags to death. 4 in one day is quite the accomplishement, and 1.5 hrs for each bag! I usually get them done in about 3 hrs, but I will take breaks and stuff.

The most I have made in one day is 2 and a half (well, 15 hexes and 6 pents).

I will try to stitch an entire bag in one sitting one day.

Also, I love making bags with thick pent colours, they turn out so nice!

I hope I get to meet you and stitch with you one day.

Take care.

the hania purple/white/yellow bag actually made me drool!!

that red/purple/yellow/orange bag looks amazing as well

and i swear those alf bags are made of clouds or something they look soooooooooooooooo soft

here's the bag i just finished

Image

Image

stainless steel balls and a dash of plastic pellets for the filler, 55 grams

i went for a 3 stitch and think its quite a bit neater than my last one, and with a little less gather (although i think its still a bit much) and smaller seam allowance its much softer and plays pretty well, so im pretty pleased

but obviously there is still a lot of room for improvement, so any pointers would be sweeet!

:D

So when the mountain opened I kind of took a break from footbag for a couple months, and thus took a break from stitching. But i've been playing hard for the last month. I decided to wash my favorite bag, (probably for the first time since SJFF) and found it was rittled with little holes, so I stitched a new one. Not super clean, but plays better than its predecessor. And then there is my most recent bag.

Chase! Haha man that was crazy when we lost your car. This place totally swallows up people's cars. I had a great time shreddin and sushi. I love crabs too, your avatar's makin me mad hungry haha.

Anyway, I stitched a yellow/blue bag too, same exact colors :o Kinda wild. Mine's a 'bipolar' pattern. This bag took like an hour to become super gushy. I wasn't even gonna post it here cuz it's not the best looking bag I've made, but couldn't resist the coincidence.

8O! So many beautiful bags!!!

Im gonna hopefully get one up here by tonight.

Matt, you've improved alot with that bag. Unless you are having any propblems or complications, your bags should improve slowly but surely with time and practice.
