Umbrella Footbags

Hey there modified,

I've recently started up my own blog that is predominantly about footbag and my progression as a freestyle player, but will also include a few other sports I'm into (climbing and running). One of the topics I'm focusing on is to display and hopefully sell some footbags I've been sewing. A standard price is $20 shipped!

Check it out! http://umbrellabags.wordpress.com/. One of the benefits of having my bags on a blog is that if you buy one, you can go back and find the post with the exact bag you bought and leave comments. My idea is that this could lead to some really nice bags!

And, I've also included a tutorial on stitching a 32-panel bag. I tried to take some helpful photos, so hopefully somebody will get inspired.

I took a look at your website, and saw your blog post about the 42-panel bag that you made. It just so happens that I've been working on a 42-panel myself, but I need to make templates of varying sizes for the hexagon. Do you know where to find a generator online to make such a design?

The only thing I can think of is to use this pattern generator to make hexagons with all sides the same length: http://patterns.mhansen.org/ But if you're wanting to make hexagons that are used in a typical 42, I'm not sure. I just got out the old t-square and protractor!

I noticed you found Brianbear's post about a 42 panel bag, so that'll help a lot too.

The pics in your tutorial are really helpful. Nice looking bags too!
