    I have never done this (keep this in mind and others may correct me) BUT I was considering making my own sporran as well and have put a little thought and research into the best method.

    As far as stitching, I was planning on using one of these tools to MARK my holes for stitching

    Then PRE-PUNCH with either an awl or dremel

    Then use one of these two methods of stitching:

    1. Sewing Awl

    OR

    2. Double Needle Hand Stitching




    Again, this is from someone who had only put the THOUGHT into doing this and defer to others who have actually DONE it!!!!

    I've done a fair amount of time sewing leather. The sewing kit from Tandy is well worth the price.
