What materials should I get, and where (exactly)? I should start with a 4 panel, right? Is a 32 panel *really* hard? How long does it take to make one? (A 4 panel? A 32 panel?) Do you think I could teach the members of my highschool club how to do it? Well, that's all I can think of for now.... Thanks a lot!!!! -------Dan------- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com From owner-sewing@eniac.yak.net Tue May 12 01:25:27 1998 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by eniac.yak.net (8.9.0.Beta5/8.9.0.Beta5) id BAA05449 for sewing-outgoing; Tue, 12 May 1998 01:25:27 GMT X-Authentication-Warning: eniac.yak.net: majordom set sender to owner-sewing using -f From: StinKyKiwi Message-ID: <414a6c8.3557a508@aol.com> Date: Mon, 11 May 1998 21:25:27 EDT To: sewing@footbag.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Subject: Re: [sewing] Begginer Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 3.0 for Windows 95 sub 18 Sender: owner-sewing@footbag.org unfortunately, sewing a footbag takes a lot of trial and error. It will take most people about 6 bags before they really start getting good. A 32 panel bag takes me a good day of sewing.

I'd like to think that I can make a competent footbag now, but I think that it will take a "good Job" from someone like Paul Munger before I consider myself talented at it. -Thomas "Big Toe" Carroll From owner-sewing@eniac.yak.net Tue May 12 20:35:04 1998 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by eniac.yak.net (8.9.0.Beta5/8.9.0.Beta5) id UAA17016 for sewing-outgoing; Tue, 12 May 1998 20:35:04 GMT X-Authentication-Warning: eniac.yak.net: majordom set sender to owner-sewing using -f Message-Id: <199805122035.QAA29470@mbs.valinet.com> Reply-To: From: "Daniel Botkin" To: "Daniel Guarda" , Subject: Re: [sewing] Beginner Date: Tue, 12 May 1998 09:46:53 -0400 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet Mail 4.70.1157 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-sewing@footbag.org I have never sewn a bag - how do I start?? > What materials should I get, and where (exactly)? > I should start with a 4 panel, right?---------- > From: Daniel Guarda Daniel and Sewing List, I have simple instructions with pictures how to sew a basic four panel (deerskin) sack on my webpage.

I'm new to the art of footbag making, as well as the sport, but the few bags that I have made (Less than a Dozen) Have been recieved well by a few other footbag folk. My name is Thomas Carroll, and my e-mail is carrol39@pilot.msu.edu I'm interested in learning as much as I can about this art. I'd love to discuss anything about sackmaking, and offer what I hav learned. I've begun selling footbags as "Big Toe Footbags" after the nickname that my friend Cameron gave me. As far as an intro goes, that's about it, -Thomas Carroll
