AnfÃ¤nger do you have a larger pic? it would be nice to have a clearer picture, but from what I can see it looks pretty round and neat!

here's my number 11

reds too thick so it doesnt lie as flush as it should do, but still pretty pleased

Matt, don't worry about the hexes/pents being a bit puffy. Some people like that, it kind of gives a bag some more grip. I like it, i wish i could get my panels to puff, but they are always super flat.

I've been working on using less gather, and I think the panels are flatter than my previous bags.

(flickr guidelines say if I externally post a pic I need to provide a link back to the flickr page.)

Sergey:

Yeah!!! Looks nice!

Ben:

doesn't work for me. Sad

How do you mean that? because of your template, or why?

edit: I made one of my best bags today ( the first ever random-alfbag) but the chip on the camera didn't do his job!
I gave it as a present for a friend and now I have no photos!!!!

some frickin sweet bags on this page!

the green / white half n half bag looks very nice mike. how have u found lowering the gather has affected your bags?

the strpey bag is amaaaaazing too, like all the best colours too

alf u should totally get ur friend to take some snaps, im intrigued

ben that bag looks very nice, thought u couldn't be arsed with patterns

its come out real nice though dude

Benzilla · Post by **Benzilla** » 13 Apr 2008 06:09

thats why some stitchers dont make soccer ball

(like me) blur 8/12 is easy and look better imo and the "blur 8/12 T6" is more cooler. i made a bag with that patern and look awesome. i just changed something in the normal blur 8/12. im gonnapost a pic soon, i just started one for Matt Cross

Matt, is that red ultrasuede SOFT? That could be the reason why it's not looking to be so floppy. The material looks rather thick.

Great bags everyone, especially Sergey. That Felix looks so glorious.

Love the patterns, Erik. That black and animal print bag is just spectacular.

kidzanshin · Post by **kidzanshin** » 13 Apr 2008 10:21

ye i think it is, i just bought a kind of lot from ebay and its all a bit too thick. ive just really been using it to practice my technique so im not kinda wasting good fabric

im gonna order some light from fields tomorrow night (wanted to do it on friday but found out i couldnt use my card on it

) so hopefully will be making nice soft playable bags soon!

The lower-gather bags I have made have a more even look than the higher gather. They seem to be ready to play right away, too. I am still weighing the benefits/looks of different levels of gather.
