the bear bag for Queency is the best looking bag in the last page IMO, i must make one like that !!!

That brian bag is dope, but I think the most impressive is this one, last post on the page. Awesome job on bag #2!!!

Is that really your second bag? Or is it your second 32, with prior experience on other amounts of panels?

That is my second bag. My first was also a 32 panel posted on page 361 or so.

Thanks for the compliment. I'll see how classes go this week, maybe I'll start a new bag soon.

All these bags are lookin' so nice! I need to get back in the groove. Here's my first bag in about 4 months?

Welcome back! I wondered where youd gone.

Love the new bag, perhaps its the camera flash but damn, those colours pop.

From left to right:
32 panel all brown Pents and Triangles
2 inches diameter, 70 grams, copperhead bbs
32 panel, 20 brown triangles, 11 orange pents, 1 brown pent (ugly kinda)
2.5 inches diameter, 94 grams, copperhead bbs
32 panel, 20 brown triangles, 10 orange pents, 2 baby blue pents
1.75 inches diameter, 66 grams, copperhead bbs

the dimensions for the panel size of the blue dotted footbag are
.6 inches for pentagon sides
.8 inches for long hexagon side
33% of long side for short side of hex (.267 inches)

Any advice to make the footbags more aesthetic, ima try decagons instead of pents on my next footbag, probably a project for next saturday

welcome back brandin! i too had wondered if you had fallen off the face of the earth. great lookin bag there.

here's one of my latest, also the biggest bag i've ever made. super deluxe jumbonium bag for ben cooke, next to one of my standards for size comparison. used all my poly pellets on this one, now i need to find more

and no, the fill doesn't leak. it did, but i reopened the bag and added a single stitch (1 hole not 2) to the middle of each bleed hole. ah the things you discover when trying something new

That bag is so awesome and monstrous

Toasty · Post by **Toasty** » 29 Mar 2010 09:22

Thanks, everyone! It sure does feel good to be back.

That bag is monstrous. I had to do that exact same thing with the bleed holes with my first 32. Of course, I didn't even sew the hexes together then. And what's that yellow? It looks very nice.

P.S. Will, I still use your bag we traded.

I should send you another bag, as the one I traded with your was before the tips you gave me. My stitching's improved threefold since then.

will_T · Post by **will_T** » 29 Mar 2010 11:43

the yellow is ultrasuede soft. it's called neon lime, even though its not green at all, and it's currently on sale! i've been messing around a lot with hybrids lately, and i think more people should experiment with material that isn't the standard facile. right now i'm in the middle of an alcantara/amaretta hybrid for myself.

brandin, PM sent

Using the right side of the fabric now!

Gary, I'm really feelin' that 12/8 blur pattern on the right, you have an eye for colour combinations! And the picture has amazing quality...DO you shoot with a point and shoot camera, or an SLR?? B/c besides my hobby of footbag, I also love taking pictures.

garygargan · Post by **garygargan** » 30 Mar 2010 15:54

I will have admit my wife picked out the colors, I also have a limited selection at the moment, thanks for offering to buy one, you're helping to fund some more fabric!

As for the photo, it is only a point and shoot, just used a stand and the timer to avoid camera shake. (And the right settings on the camera). I did once work part time in a photo studio so i like to think some good habits rubbed off.

Here are my latest bags. I will not be selling or trading any bags atm, but will eventually, I think.

Here is my new personal shred bag that I finished last week:

Here is an amaretta bag I finished last night:

Nice bags everyone.

BrianBear, I really like your bags! I can compare them with the bags of Hannia, even though stitches are a little different. I like them, that's all I wanted to say.

will_T · Post by **will_T** » 31 Mar 2010 14:13

those look great, andrew! nice work! what are you using for filler?

Eskimo Joe · Post by **Eskimo Joe** » 31 Mar 2010 14:45

Thanks Will. I certainly hope they look good, I've only been stitching for about four years! I use 7. 5 extra hard lead shot and number seven stainless steel shot. They usually weigh about 60-70g.
