Tailoring Skill and Craftable Bags

I'm kind of a newbie glitch, so I don't know whether this idea has already been suggested or if it is in development at all, but I thought that it would be nice to be able to make our own bags and tool boxes. Storage is a necessity, so I think that it would be a great advantage to be able to craft bags for both personal use or to sell in the Auction. :D

  • +1.    a related ability that has been asked  for is to make bags 'fold', which changes a bag (which would have to be empty) into a 'folded bag' .   A 'folded bag' takes up a normal inventory slot rather than a 'bag' inventory slot, ie, you could put 16 'folded bags' into a single unfolded bag.  you could also mail them, trade them, etc.

  • I agree. The 'folded bag' idea sounds like a great idea. :D

  • I suggested something similar a while ago and didn't get much traction. My idea went a bit further and included general sewing skills...

  • Thanks for pointing me to your post. :D I love the idea of making clothing, and had considered the possibility, as well. (Depending on how many variations could be made, it would be fun to have the ability to share your design with others, too). This would be a great addition, but it would possibly require an integration of the wardrobe right into the game, rather than it being a separate feature on the website. Probable, but I'm not sure how much work it would take to make the change.

    The reason I focused on the idea of craftable bags is because they are already in-game items, and perhaps they could become craftable in the near future. Dye-making is also a great idea! :) 

    Craftable bags would even be useful just in terms of the economy and expanding the amount of items that make sense to auction.

  • i'd so love to be able to change the bag colours, at the moment it's only the colours of the small bags that i like, they're a lot more vibrant. But of course, am using the faded looking big bags because they're bigger even tho they don't look as nice!

  • Hehe, I love the colors of the small bags, too ;)

  • I don't see why we couldn't have this skill, and also, as part of it, be able to dye our bags different colors with tinctures ;)

  • I would love to be able to make bags - and clothing. And dyeing. Actually I would definitely support more development of the Fiber Arts skills in general - since that's what I'm interested in in real life and was kindly disappointed when it wasn't as extensive as other areas.

  • I agree. It would be great to be able to knit or crochet yarn and dye fibres and yarn. As well as clothing we could produce household items. For examples of what can be done with the fibre arts just check out ravelry.com, there's quite a few of us from here on Ravelry, it's where I found out about the game.
