The pic isn't showing up for me, but I'll assume it is a sporran or targe. Either way, if I was attending I'd want to know how they did it in the past, as well as what inovations we have made today. What did they use for thread or leather? What are we using today? The difference in tooling techniques mentioned above is also a good idea.

I've always figured folks back then had a lot of downtime during the winter and no internet, so they must have spent a lot of time on crafts. So relatively ornate wood, knitting, and leather goods probably were more common than you might think. Maybe metal pieces were rare, but the other stuff shouldn't have been too hard to obtain to jazz up, but of course are quick to degrade and get lost to time.
