    My first sporran

    Well, I got the bug from you guys. I made my sporran. I had some nice dark brown leather laying around (nearly a whole side) and still had some antler bits. What I didn't have was a pattern, until I looked here on x marks and found this one.



    Being a bit of a history guy I loved the pattern. So, some cutting, no glueing, and a bunch of hand stitching gave me this. The only thing I had to buy was a tiny buckle for the strap.

    Looks great!

    I've seen that pattern before, and passed it over because I wasn't sure that I would like how the finished product would turn out. Now you've made me want to go and give it a try. Once again, looks great!

    It looks both historical and handsome up against that tartan. The bone/antler pieces really set it off. Congratulations! Great job on a sporran, especially a first one. Thanks for posting.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    You'll be seeing it at Loon, and possibly in Ct between rounds of throwing this October.
