Hey, nice pics Jozef! Can you show us all of your new beautiful creations that way from now on?

Eh, I guess while I'm still here, I'll throw up a copy of old Jake Raye bag that I made recently.

...That's right. It's a primary-colors 38-Panel, next to an ambiguosly-sized habanero for size comparison.
Shreds hella good, and is just a teency bit bigger than a golfball.

This may very well be a good time for me to retire from stitching. Everyone is sewing some awesome bags!

However, if I do retire, I should retire with a bang-job bag, and not something as bland as I'm about to submit right now...

Here is one from me:

Rapture Rose/Midnight. Lead filled. 55.5 grams. Could be a prize for the upcoming NYFA tournament, could be sold to a needy NYFAite - I don't know.

PS: Louis, you are one amazing stitcher. I am dead serious.

Waylon you have been hanging up the needle for about 8 months now. I think if you finish that long list of bags you have to stitch. You will be going out with a bang. Or do you have the need to have people want your bags? Is that what the list was for? Update the list please. What do I have to do.....join the NJFA to get a bag in under 6 months?

That is a far drive....

Sorry every time I see you post in the "Bags I stitched" pages I get excited. I think it's going to be mine.

By the way Way, That bag looks great. I have a bag just like it I got from Peng2. I thought it was mine at 1st.

For whatever it's worth, I'm slowly losing my drive to stitch bags. At first it was my arm and shoulder pain, but now it's just plain motivation. There are only... two designs that I want to wow modified and everyone, but after they have been realized in physical form, I don't know what to do. Filling out client orders is all I have in me for stitching, and it's really appreciative that people take care of the bags I make for them.

I guess I'm just really turned off when somebody receives my bag and they end up breaking/losing them within 2 weeks due to stupid reasons. That tears me apart in some way, at a personal level. It's happened to me a couple of times.

The list I have is a personal reminder that people may possibly still want my bags. If they don't they can kindly refuse to buy a bag from me - that's how the profession of stitching goes. I find more joy in teaching people to sew footbags than to make footbags in general. I also don't like putting a monetary value on footbags, but if it helps to advance the sport then I will do just that. I am all for supporting the community with my bags (so much so that I will gladly offer a 32 for a free dinner or complimentary set of beer(s)), but for me I am still trying to find that one creative niche that keeps me going with stitching. All I can say is that I am slowly losing my grasp on it, but I'm waiting for an opportunity to arrive.

I also want to spend more time playing footbag, than making footbags. My tailbone hurts a ton from sitting on my butt all day, so footbag is my athletic relief from sitting in front of the computer or working in front of a desk all day.

... I think I'll drop the price on my bags if people personally believe that I'm a couple of months behind on their bag, and they wish to be compensated for my tardiness.

Anyway, whatever. I'm not going to post my life story on this. This post is much too long already. I'm about to finish a 32, and will post it by tonight or tomorrow.

Nice girl, Jozef... I mean nice bags

.

Here are few recent Dorshbags:

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 16 Jul 2008 14:00

Punch/Stone Grey/Sunny Sienna, 55.5 grams lead/seed bead fill. Extra high gather, basic stitching style.

My regular template shrunk to a mini with the high gather.

gangsta · Post by **gangsta** » 16 Jul 2008 14:22

MMMmmmm... gather.... That's a beautiful bag Waylon. I Love the colors.

Jordan · Post by **Jordan** » 16 Jul 2008 16:01

Bag #2 (Has lots of gather)

Bag #3 (Has very little gather)

Closer look on bag #2

OK, so I've been experimenting with gather and the size of panels... and as you can see my bags are obviously bigger than a golfball (tomorrow I will be changing my panel templets, so my bags are just about golfball size, maybe smaller

)

I will be ordering planetfootbag filler and tungsten on saturday...

And bag #4 will be going to Manna for testing, he will give me a full review on my bags and what I need to work on...

IF ANY PLAYERS WANA TEST MY BAGS, PM ME AND I WILL SEND THEM TO YOU (FREE SHIPPING)

THANX EVERYONE!!!

Alf · Post by **Alf** » 17 Jul 2008 00:42

many nice bas on that site!
I especially like the high gathered, mini wasabi bag!!!
looks good!!!

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 17 Jul 2008 10:21

Cale, I REALLY like the first bag you posted up. Great color combo, I may have to steal it from you and add a few warm color touch-ups.

As for the mini bag I posted up, I think I'm going to put it up for grabs, either for the NYFA tournament or on modified. I still haven't decided. It's really small (it reminds me of an abshire a-910 mini), but it's filled maybe 48% full, so it should play pretty well out of the package. It was meant for Ken Somolinos, to represent the Phoenix Suns, but I'm afraid it might be too small for him.

edit: Alf has reserved this bag.
