Ghillie Brogue style sporran?

[artificer]

I think it looks pretty cool Kind of a variation on the traditional theme without departing too far.

I wonder what @artificer would say?

I certainly wouldn't call it a dress sporran.
It's not bad, but it looks like it was designed by someone who really didn't look all that hard at the way broguing is actually laid out.

IMO The scale difference between the large and small holes is off (the small holes are too large), the spacing is sort of lazy (too wide a gap between the singles and pairs).
In at least two spots the stitching runs INTO the broguing (the thing about contrast stitching is that it really stands out, )

The detail person in me is troubled by the double stitch on the body and the single stitch lines on the flap. If it were black stitching I don't think I'd have quite
the same reaction.

Two other things that would have made this piece look nicer would be:
a pinked edge on the inside of the flap's stitching (making the brogued area an overlay trim), and a better design for the pattern on the body.
