To the Question of Spooran,
It seems you also need to deciede what era, or style, of sporan to make, Rob Roy seems traditional, but? Will you try the Victorian sort, with the fancy metal and catches, or the traditional? I am, as I write, wearing a traditional one; two sections of leather, one edge seam, drawing string(leather) close thru the flap. It is 8 inches tall 7'' wide at the base, and 6'' at the top. It is held by two leather straps to my 2nd belt. No pattern needed, no fur needed, no bangles and the like. Historicaly, Sporran were the standard 'money bag ' that all men wore, in the era the kilt was born. It was usually worn on the side, under the coat, to keep it from 'cutpurses' (pickpockets with a knife) For reason I know not, the kilt wearers moved it to the front; I would Guess to keep it free from the sword and other pieces of the soldiers kilt; the way the soldiers cartridge box was worn on one side, and later moved to the front, you can reach thing the better.
Otherwise, I quite concure with the advice given. It is not a tough job, it takes patience and a bit more ork than fabrick. And yes, I also agree, work the first in some scrap fabrick(and old shirt, for example). Happy sewing, and let us see the finished work.
These are the views of;
