Things I Have Learned While Making A Sporran:

1. Don't just model it after that intial purchase made with the kilt - draw out a full pattern on graph paper.
2. Leave nothing to the eye. Measure, measure, measure.
3. Patience is not only a virtue, it is an absolute requirement.
4. A paper mock up is a good thing.
5. Using the paper mock up to guide is an even better thing.
6. Try for, but don't expect absolute perfection.
7. Think, act, think again. Use x-marks DIY to support that.
8. The proper tools are probably a good thing. Get them for next time.
9. It's not about saving money, but being able enjoying creating something.
10. You have to commit to wearing the result at least once.

I have taken photos along this little journey of leather craft and will post them up in additional 'replies' when I get the pics transferred onto the computer.
