Currently, the sporran I have is a cheap-o and the leather is rather hard and not the most comfortable thing to wear so I plan to buy some materials to make my own and after searching the forums a good bit I have some ideas as to what I'll try to make (a basic day sporran for casual wear of soft, relatively easily handled, black leather).

However, in my searching I found little that gave me insight on how to go about the leather-work and the process of a project like this. For a first one I don't need it to be great, just hold up for wearing often.

Any input, insight, suggestions, or whatever you wanna say would be greatly appreciated. I just need to get an idea of the sort of process and preparation I should be starting to think about and plan ahead for. Thank you!

Note: I probably won't be starting this for a couple of weeks but I'll keep updated on the progress.
