Not necessarily one I was gifted with.

You will need to use some 3-4 oz. oil-tanned or tooling leather as front stiffener and flap. You can start working on some concptual templates for cutting the fron and back on ggraph paper. Make sure to add a seam allowance to your finished dimensions.
I've got most of the tools to make the sporran, though my punch only does one whole at a time.
As for the stiffer leather... I'll have to use my leather glue (some Tandy brand stuff) to unite the gray suede with the brown leather I'll have to use as a stiffener. As far as templates... I've looked ay your sporran and the Freelanders over and over and can't seem to grasp the concept. As soon as I have a pattern, I'll be good to go.
