    Dangerous sewing indeed - snapping needles are a sure sign you are trying to push beyond design limits.

    My two lively offspring are now adults, but I think what sanity I do retain is due to having a craft type hobby to escape into.

    Here're the photos you were trying to post, Lindy Loo:





    I think I'd have to agree on the over-sized lacing being a bit too much. Definitely striking, I'll grant!

    Very nice work! The lacing is a different, but in my opinion, nice accent. I like to see new ideas being tossed out.

    Also, I've noticed the link now works.

    I like the top one better, but I don't know if I would actually wear it or not, not really my style so to speak.

    Thanks Beertigger! Still don't know how you did it (I'm a *whisper* mac operator by trade you see, so pc's are beyond me!) x

    Thanks for all your opinions, I've realised that the pics don't do my sporrans justice, they look much better in real life (honest) ;-)

    There's a new XMTS link on my website, I figured out how to do that at least!

    More sporrans on the way as soon as my D rings arrive. I'll post the pic of the riveted one soon as I get a chance.

    The problem is, a couple of guys at work have said they really like them (and commissioned me to make them one!) but I don't know if they're just being polite cos they know how obsessed I am!

    So I need opinions! I need to know if it's worth carrying on down this route or scrap this style and start over.

    I'll try to post some pics here, hope it works.
