Nice first try. Sten Rune and I used Cardboard and binliners for our first sporran.
You obviosly have a good base to improves on.
For materials take a walk to the nearest Junk shop or what ever you call them in the states.
Look for old leather coats. Fun fur or real fur coats which have gone passed their usfull perpose.Try and re use things you find.
Old leather briefcases and scatchels are all good sources of leather with the used patina that looks good. You don't have to break the bank to start.
PS. Junk shops are a good source of horn and antler too. Just get the saw and sandpaper out and have fun (It smells a bit so do it outdoors)
