188, same style as the last one. I'm finding that it's really easy to be consistent with this new style, and it's really fast. Looks a lot better than the same style on a 2 stitch as well.

ps: those colors are all wrong. the dark color is like a maroon (blackberry) and the light color is a rich pink (bright violet).
BRICK!

Cool bag Matt.

Second two stitch from me. First time I've started and finished a bag in one day.

I would say that both Bright Violet and Blackberry are inextraordinary in a good way. They both feel consistent. not too flexible, not too stiff.

once again, DO NOT BUY TULIP.

#189. I'm liking this style.

Here is what I'm doing differently: I'm only poking the facile the distance of one hole to the next, then going right back in. I started trying this a few weeks ago, but I was doing it with 2 stitch bags. I'm liking it a lot more with 3 stitch bags.

Here is why I like it: It's really fast, and it's really easy to get a straight, even string path because you're using a straight thing (the needle) all at once to make the holes, and you learn how much of the needle to poke out each time to make all the stitches even.

It took a few bags to get it right, but I recommend other stitchers see if they like this style. That first time you get it, you know it, because the gather looks perfect right on the needle.

I find that style of stitching to be very difficult. After poking all the holes my needle gets stuck and i can't pull it out without great effort. Maybe I'm not using the right kind of needle :?

Anyways, new one from today. Fresh off the needle.

Brand new 50 panel

Post by Shellsofparadise »

Designed it over the weekend. The first one was too small, so I stayed up all night stitching this thing. The photo will be up in a half hour. Check out my auction on the FOR SALE page. More to come.

Sweet bags everyone! I've made a couple of bags lately, but haven't found the time to post pictures of them at all. Maybe they will be shown on the "New Footbags" thread in the near future. :)

Matt, I love the look of Bright Violet, and your new stitching technique.

Eoghan and Julien, awesome bags!

Andre, the stitching looks good man, and i bet they make for good kicking bags, but the problem with using fabrics like denim is they dont have the durability and softness required to make a good freestyle bag.

as cale mentioned, the fabric of choice is ultrasuede light (or facile) which you can buy at the website he quoted which is much better for making stally bags

id like to see a 32 panel bag from you! you'll find that would make a rounder bag, without having so many panels that there is too much tension and hardness in the bag

keep stitching
