My DIY Semi-Formal Sporran Mod. Thoughts, please.

[KiltedSergeant]

Dollander inspired me to try something similar to his project posted in this same Forum category.

I have been looking at "semi-formal" sporrans because I have two simple three-tassel sporrans, one in black and one in brown, and a formal skunk skin sporran that I have been using for over 20 years. None of them have ever seemed appropriate for occasions in between casual and very formal. After seeing Dollander's post I purchased the following sporran from E-bay:

My thought is to add some tweed, or the like, as Dollander did, into the areas demonstrated by my amateurish, but hopefully clarifying, artwork demonstrated in these two pictures (the color is not right, but please use your imagination):

One concern I have for Mod 1 is that the small cloth sections on the sides might be prone to coming unglued at the edges due to their small size, though with modern adhesives that may be a moot point; you artisans may be able to guide me on that point. I believe I will also place some sort of Celtic brooch in the middle of the center section of the sporran.

Could I ask for your honest opinions of the project? And if you like either of the suggested modifications (or, prefer the original), please explain. Thanks!
