hand made Jacobite sporran

[kilted Kiwi2]

Just finished making my 1st sporran this morning. A friend gave me some suede which I then dyed light brown and copying a pattern from the net I then stitched it together and made the wooden button on the flap . I wanted it to look rustic and I wanted a sporran of a decent size so I think for my 1st one it didn't turn out to bad, comments most welcome. It has a belt loop on the back so it can hang directly from a kilt belt or be worn on a separate belt

Nice job on the sporran, and I enjoyed looking at the rest of your blog, too. Looks like you are keeping busy in your spare time. Nice work!

That's really cool! Your whole outfit is fantastic.

I love it when people take the time to do the research and get everything right.

The jacket and waistcoat look wonderful - though they must be heavy.

I used to do a lot of dyeing of leather and suede back in the day when psychedelia was all the rage, but I've not attempted anything like that for quite some time.

I am now eyeing the piece of leather I have - it ought to be used for something.

I wonder, that black leather sporran - is the main part of it a simple circle, or is it shaped, and how many holes are punched in it - if I can trouble you to let me know.

My usual medium is fabric or knitting and crochet - and getting that wrong is often recoverable, but your handiwork has inspired me - or perhaps, to be truthful, made me envious.

Yes the highland short coat is a bit hot for the Japanese summer as it's made from Harris tweed, but the linen back , split tartan waistcoat is fine to wear even in hot weather. As for the black sporran that one was made by a Jacobite reenacting friend of mine in Germany. The main part is just a big circle and I don't have the sporran with me at present , but I would say it has 6 holes per side including the back and front, but I'll check up on that for you. It is a reproduction of a period sporran and looks fantastic

The leather piece is looking anxious, I keep eying it and wondering if it contains a large enough disc to make something useful or will have to be cut into strips and oblongs - if you could let me know the diameter at some point then I can put it out of its misery....
