My starry bag seems to be well recieved even if it was a complete accident
I didnt do anything different, or at least as far as im aware I didnt. I think if anything its because i over-gathered, perhaps too much. It was a terrible rush job though, and unfortunately that bag is already no longer with us in a useable sense but the majority of the pents did still retain that star shape.
Am in the middle of another one right now, next bag will be an attempt at all stars
Edit : it is a hybrid, Alcantara and some cheapo faux suede, not sure if that makes any difference.
