Finished the DIY sporran

[turpin]

This looks like a fine DIY project, especially the way you created the Cantles from savaged material. Recycle!.

I would suggest considering a wider gusset on you next attempt. I make my Rob Roys with a 3" gusset. If you are allowing 3/8" per seam times 2 seams, That leaves only a 1" effective gusset. I'd add at least 1/2", maybe a full inch. My major complaint about most sporans is lack of useful room.

cheers

Granted this manequin is a bit skinny for my full figure
but here is the way it looks matched with the Shadow kilt from Stillwater.
Turpin I understand the need for room in the Sporran but i have built others with more room and did not like the way they stood out.
tradition states the following items need to be kept in a sporran: flask o' scotch, handkerchief, one Shilling, and I cant remember the other items.
can anyone remember?
modern requirements are: digital camera (for Xmarks posting), cell phone, car keys, more than that beats you up.... this has room for all the above.
I put an internal pocket in it to organize wallet, and cell phone.

Congratulations on your cantle. For those of us who make sporrans (DIY) they are almost impossible to get.

I like it.

The BEST thing is that it is FUNCTIONAL!!!!!
(Meaning it actually HOLDS stuff)
The non-functioning (actual or effective) dress sporran is my BIGGEST PET PEAVE in Kiltdom.

Do you mind if I steal that cantle for a future sporran??
