They often have scraps, and they have other suitable leathers that are cheaper. Relevant tools are helpful, but folk were
doing leather work long before those tools were available. A good yardstick or steel rule and Xacto knife will get you
through a simple sporran (he says knowingly, looking at the three he's started and not completed). You'll wind up spending
as much or more than what a cheap one will cost, but you made it, and your next will be better. A pattern can be made
by drawing one based on looking at various sporrans and seeing their construction. If you have fun and want to do more,
then you can invest in the tools.
I met up with Lamar Britt at the Stone Mountain Powwow and we found a leather booth that had great prices. We bought.
I will get it done. Also, I was given a skunk pelt by one of the merchants. I was in a kilt, which started a conversation as I
was buying. Still deciding on design.
Have fun.
