    First sporran attempt

    I had a brown sporran but not a black one so I thought I have a go at making one myself.

    There are a couple things I'd do differently but overall it works pretty well.

    What do you think?

    It looks great in that pic! Do you have a picture of it being worn? It's hard to tell size etc.

    Well done! I wish I had any sort if creative talent!

    Looks like a fine job from the front.

    How's the back?

    (I've handled too many sporrans from different vendors to trust the front as an indicator of workmanship...)

    Looks neat. If it were me, I'd shorten the leather strings on the front a bit. Just throwing it out there, take with it what you will.

    They need to be that long to open the pouch fully I suspect

    Nice work H.

    I'm starting my fourth, and it gets easier with each one.

    We would all like to see it with a kilt, please.
