    Sporran #2: Tweed and Duck Canvas - Finished

    Here's how my DIY tweed sporran turned out. I was going to use two buttons and a cord for a closure but instead went with a suggestion from MNlad to use grommets.

    Planning to replace the cheap sporran strap with a solid leather one as soon as I can. I had to replace the chain. It kept breaking. Next up is the spring clasps, they tend to get hung up on the tweed and/or my kilt! Eventually it's going to end up like the family hatchet - the head's been replaced twice, and the handle three or four times, but it's still the same family hatchet handed down for generations.

    Sporran #3 will be tweed and leather. The duck canvas is okay, but I think a leather gusset would look better.
