Started working on a leather sporran and have found some patterns and very little construction info online. Hoping someone might be able to help. Got the tab with the rings sewn and the piece it passes through on the back finished. Have figured out that the sides (gusset) is sewn right sides together then folded back - so no of the stitching shows on the front. The end result looks like a 'mounded' rim on the front.
So here's where I'm stuck. How does the side get sewn to the back piece? Does the stitching show? How wide should the sides be?
The front, back and flap are pretty sturdy leather while the sides are of a piece that is very pliable and can be folded back on itself.
Should it be lined? If so, with what?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys!
