New Sporran from Daughter's Discarded Purse

[Ozark Ridge Rider]

Basic project using an old blue-gray purse from my daughter. It has some extra seams where the front and back of the purse were pieced, but it cut out and sewed up OK. I decided to edge lace the flap to smooth it up a bit.

Buttons are from a bit of Whitetail antler from a few years back.

Fine job of reusing discarded items and making it into a real piece of art!

Turned out really great. I love up-cycling

Much better job than the purse I recycled into a sporran. But it got me to thinking ( a dangerous circumstance at best)about other ones I can make. Well done and appreciated.

Wow Great job !!!! I did the same thing
With one of my wife's purses she threw
Away . Good leather should be kept right.

Thanks, and you're right, it absolutely should be utilized! Some of the leather in lady's purses is really high quality.

That is one classy looking sporran. Well done.

I smell a new venture in the making: Re-Sporrans.

Well done, mate!

Thanks, Bren. Probably won't have the time to do too many of these. I'm pretty slow and the stitching was done on my Mother's old Singer, which now has no belt, so was hand-turned. The treadle probably wouldn't have sewn through the leather anyway.
