Cloth Sporran

That is SO cool! Thank you for imagining a new twist on an classic idea. The step by step photo guide should help anyone follow suit.

Well Done!

Wolfgore, this is an excellent tutorial. When I buy material for a contemporary kilt, I always buy enough for a sporran so it matches the kilt. I'm going to use your tutorial next time

[Wolfgore]

cool, man. though it seems small, is it?

This one is actually a little small compared to the others I have made.
In part because I am still figuring out how to use the serger, and because of the angle I put on the bottom.
Lost some room doing that.
I am putting cargo pockets on this kilt, so I really only use the sporran for my wallet. (I like having it up front so I can get to it easily, and no one else can.)

Even being small as it is, I can put my wallet, smokes and lighter and my cell phone in it. And I have a Blackjack II phone, so it is pretty big by todays standards for a cell phone.

Oh, and for the record, much as I would like to take credit for a brilliant idea, it isn't mine.
Amerikilts come with a similar sporran, and I believe Ron (Riverkilt) told me Jeff at Pittsburgh kilts used to make them as well.
This is just my version and was showing Mipi how I did it because he had asked me for some directions a while back.

I saw one of these in person the other night.
They remind me of my much beloved milsurp ammo/utility pouches

Ding! Ding! Light Bulb!! I can't believe I've never thought of using Ammo pouches as a modern version of the sporran. I know I've got a couple in black laying around somewhere....a web strap to hang it...I think you've just hit on a great casual kilting sporran...

So hear are the pics. But my is not made so good (I don't own such a good sewing mashine, hands, talent..)









I made loops different way. That way this sporran/pocket comes higher on the side when attached to belt. Ther are also some other differences in the way how it's made (sewing cover part to back part, lining the inner part for strength).

Thank you again, Wolfgore!

Looks great, an idea though... a second layer on the flap, and using a BDU-type button hole? Anyhow, I plan on making one soon
