Latest Sporran Weekend DIY

[Mike S]

Cheers Stitchwiz. Although I think Artificer's work is top of the line stunning and among the very best, I have been tinkering with leatherwork for quite a few years now, off and on. I have to admit that I only recently viewed his work for the first time. I do love the sporrans that he makes though!

Artificer is a pro, and I only do this as a hobby, and because I'm cheap . The nicer commercially finished sporrans can be pretty hefty in price.

I used the term "whipped up" both as a pun, and because I was able to knock this out over a limited amount of free time, one weekend.

What sort of thread did you use in sewing it?

[Mike S]

Waxed linen thread, dyed with the same leather dye used to color the leather components to match.

[Theyoungkiltman]

Same here. Very nice work, may i ask where you acquired a pinking iron?

[Mike S]

Thank you for the kind words. It isn't a pinking iron that I used. Rather, the edges of some parts were cut to a saw toothed pattern with pinking shears.

Very nice indeed Mike. I love the attention to detail you have here. Excellent job mate

Thank you Mike for the photos of the interior. I am also a (tight-wallet, DYI guy) and appreciate a visual aid every once in a while. Good job.
