Bags You've Made

... and start a new one!

new MC model...

Ben Cooke Signature series - EXTRA large, and EXTRA floppy, but not abnormally heavy. Bags like this grab the foot so nicely that they may as well have fish hooks on the outside.

edit: two more notes on this bag - it's my first 4-stitch bag, and also, that green is Active Green USL (not USS), the long-discontinued superchoice green

great bags guys.
matt, ben cooke models are the bomb, i've made a few like that for him

i love my 2-stitch bags more than my 3-stitch bags which is why i made one for myself, along with 3 more 3-stitch for freedom.

First one in a long time. I believe it's number 9 or 10. Kind of large, but only half the number of stitches as Matt's up there.

Sick lookin bag, chris! glad to know ptown's got another stitcher in the fold!

Sort of. Takes me a couple of days to complete a single bag, and then I take it apart to redo the ugliest pents.

Maybe more soon. I need all new filler first, lead is yuck and my plastic is too big.

What is this sick new material y'all are using? I see the disco fabric, which I have a square of, but there's other shiny stuff on the last page.

Does any of it let light through? The USL is too thick for a glow bag.

I think we all just get Brian to buy it for us

I'm going to go on a shopping excursion with Waylon one of these days to find some sweet stuff.

stunning bag Brian!

My bag has the same material for pents as brian's does, but you can't see it in that photo.

hahahah, hilarious zach.

here's a bunch of my recent ones, including a new one from today (#437), the disco and green 2-stitch at the front.

The three 3-stitches in the middle are for sale, although I think Tom Gartland is getting the glittery silver and blue one at the front tomorrow.

2-stitches are $25, 3-stitches are $30, 4-stitch BC Xtra Grande are $35, all plus $5 for shipping.

pretty silly zach

gosh, I REALLY love that jumbo more now that you mentioned it has the black pents as microsuede!!! juicy.
Sorry about the size of this pic, I just thought it looked real nice:

performance star bag for honza weber.

wooot, starbags ftw!!!

matt, microsuede and disco goes better the other way around, i know it doesnt look that funky

my recent one:

the stitching is kinda wierd because the greenish stuff is silly to stitch. but its playable and totally cool to look at non the less

another one of the "mini series" i am stitching right now!

brianbear · Post by **brianbear** » 15 Oct 2010 13:25

mmm, amaretta hybrid with crazy fabric, niiice!
i have figured a mini-ish 2-stitch model:

marco, the pieces are so big on bags of that size that you could make them out of dragon hide and it would be gushy

however, I'll try this combo you mentioned soon to see how it feels! Thanks for the tip.

the last two bags are a delight for the eyes! I'd like to try some of that fabric out marco!!!

mahhkohh · Post by **mahhkohh** » 15 Oct 2010 13:50

the problem with the green-ish fabric is that same i have with all of the wierd fabrics, i dont have much and i dont really know how to get more

ass soon ass i find a way to get this stuff i let you know

also i demand a dragon hide bag now!

agreed, disco is kinda thick for hexes (at least on normal sized bags)

marco, is that corduroy? it sure looks like it, that's gotta feel really interesting.
