    A note about making your own sporran; after you make one you are likely to make more.
    Couldn't agree more; it is addictive. You've gotten some great advice, so just a few notes: The Rob Roy is probably the easiest style sporran for a first-timer. Tandy often has a scrap bin at their stores where you can find enough heavier leather to make your top flap and front piece. Supple leather for the front, back and gusset will probably require the purchase of a larger piece of leather. The most useful tools to start with are a good rotary cutter, cutting mat and set of punches. For just one sporran, the mat and cutter aren't really necessary, but make the job much easier and become invaluable if you go on to other leather projects—which you probably will. Good luck and enjoy.
