Ok... this first post is really looking for opinions. BEar with me... this IS going to be a DiY share in the end.

On Monday, I ordered J Charles Thompson's book. One of the first things I intend to do when I get it is utilize the included sporran pattern to make a Rob Roy style sporran using gray suede. I've got 17 sq. ft. of gray suede just begging to be used... what better way to put it to use.

Any comments on the concept?

Certainly, as soon as the book shows and I commence the project, I'll get photos along the process and share.
