Bags You've Made

Alejandro · Post by **Alejandro** » 29 Jan 2009 09:23

I sent two bags man ( twice) to you, cause assumed that the first one was lost in mail or something like, Never get any notice about you so I though you had the bag.
I get the money back to lotus cause He doesnÂ´t received the bag...
I know that there is not much people who know my bags or have bought one of them.
But you can be certainly I am not a thief, I dont need to remain with the money of somebody. Simply I did not know that your bag doesnt arrive.
They are more bags that I have given ( absolutly free) than those that I have sold, and almost 15 trades.
Let me know if you want another bag, or if donÂ´t let me know you want your money back and I will paypal to you.
Sorry about this Cope. IÂ´m serious and I donÂ´t like this kind of things happen.

Nice bags, Cale.. I like the red white and blue one a lot.
My newest.. 55 grams, four stitch, high gather, filled with steel, lead, and seed beads. Very soft.

I got this idea while laying in bed a few nights ago.. I tried to do a five hex color with alternating pent colors, where no two panels of the same color would touch and the hex/pent colors were the same. The opposite pents are the same color. It failed, and I had to use two stone gray hexes to even out the colors. It still made a good looking bag though

First bag I made with an old t-shirt without any regard to consistency or gather. Mr. Sandbag next to it for size. Advice appreciated.

Also wondering:

1. Is it natural to be able to change your gather for each side of a pentagon stitched in with a hexagon?

2. Is there a system you use to know how much gather to put or do you simply eye it?

That's a sweet bag, Gary.

I have three bags made, one of which isn't actually used for kicking.

I'm now making another bag, so once I get that done I'll post them all very soon.

To Omnified:

1. I think I understand your question. I and I believe most stitchers sew 5 hexagons to the pentagon, and then pull the gather all the way, then loosen it up until the pentagon resembles that of typical footbags.

2. I usually eyeball it, but I used to use a pen for measurement when I was starting out. You kinda want the inside of your gather to be about the circumference of a Bic pen.

calemccoy · Post by **calemccoy** » 04 Feb 2009 16:24

i always stitch all five hexes on then pull it taught around a sharpie pen cap.

Thanks for the tips guys but what I meant in question 1 was it was natural to be able to change the gather for each side of a pentagon stitched in with a hexagon after you've tied off your knot from the fifth and last hexagon. Sorry I didn't make it clear the first time.
