I have tried to do it like this but then I have encountered a problem. The sides where pentagons and hexagons touch are too small compared to the sides where the hexagons touch à the bag gets too big and not as bouncy as I would like it to be. My question therefore is: How is it possible to make 32 pannel bags where the hexagon-hexagon sides are smaller than the hexagon-pentagon sides? Do you make the hexagon panels such that they are asymmetrical on purpose (i.e. 3 small sides and 3 larger sides) ? I cannot say how grateful I am if somebody could help me out….I’ve been trying so many times and it gets frustrating to finish a bag after 7 hours of sewing and realise that it hasn’t turned out how I wanted it to be.
