Berserk Sporran MKII Finished

What he said. You never know what you can do till you try.

Oh how true! But I also have tried many things only to end up throwing away a terrible result, and then spending more money getting a good product anyway.

For SOME people sewing and leatherwork is much easier than for others.

I think you did a great job and one that I don't think I have the ability to duplicate.

Thanks, and I can defiently understand what you mean. Leatherwork is not for everyone or there wouldnt be any leatherworkers in business. I can to lots of things but there are as many things I'm not good at and those things are not worth me investing the money in. There is a reason I dont make traditional kilts. . .

After a while of mastering the needle in leather, the needle in wool will come to you. Be patient, the sewing machine took a day or two to get going.. getting the needle to hide the stitches in a kilt can happen someday.. I know, I am in my fourth week of hand sewing a wool kilt, and am no wheres near a third of the way. My eyesight gives out after only one pleat....

Well, as of right now my DIY passion lies with sporrans and other leather goodies. I have no desire to sew a kilt. If I do, I will probably start with an x-kilt and go from there. The sewing machine is still something a little foreign to me. I just want to get good enough to sew patches onto uniforms for my service.
