Luckily, setting the second thread of the saddle stitch should be less of a task.

Good Lord, me too. I've seen top of the line, 200+ sporrans with crooked, uneven stitches that detracted from an otherwise beautiful sporran.

Thanks again for your good work.

Thanks guys, for the very kind words.

At Loooong last #5 is completed.

This morning I picked up a new batch of needles, finished edge dyeing, and attached the snap strap.

Without further ado, #5 (hunting) - Front

If you look back at the last series of pix, you can see what a big difference such a small thing like redyeing the cut edges makes.

I wish I had a nice tweed day jacket and waistcoat to show this off without the belt (which btw ISN'T the dyed to match for this sporran, it goes to my #3 Rob Roy. These belts and straps are too rusty orange for this bag. I have a darker, more brownish set that matches the bag colour starting soon).

That is all.
