Hello to you all.

I have just discovered this amazing forum, and have spent a long time going through old posts, and apologise for asking all this a again, but here is what I would like to achieve….

I have just been given a hide of Vegtan top quality leather for an Christmas present.
I also have a badger skin which I have had for quite a few years (see photos bellow), and have waited until now for inspiration to hit…..

So what can this mean….. I want to make a full face Sporran…...

From what I have read so far, I have gathered the following

Cut the skin to the same template as the lid, front panel and gusset of the sporran.
Either sew the eyes shut or purchase glass eyes.
Shape the head or leave it flat.

Does anyone have any photos to compare the difference between formed or flat, eyes or sewn shut?
Should the fur be on the back panel as well?
How do I attach the skin to the leather, is this sewn, glued or both?

Looking forward to learning and sharing wih you all
