oh dear oh dear oh dear Cowher, dear. Perhaps an apprenticeship with the master leatherworker Britt would be the path to follow. Write to him, he's a lovely chap (despite his steely gaze). You might even offer him the bit fur you have and then design the sporran together.

That's not a bad idea but I simply can't afford his work. Yet maybe he'll offer some advise on where to start. I made a black leather day sporran before. I actually liked how it looked. It was a little short top to bottom and my stitches were not perfectly spaced but I think I have figured out how to fix this. I have a man who has worked on moccasins since the 60's. I am going to seek his help also. I'm going to take my time and I know it will not look as good as a purchased one but I think it will be eye catching either way and I will be proud that I made it.
[note] I don't mean to give the impression that I want to rip off Master Britts work. Rather my sporran is inspired by the fantastic sporrans he makes. I used the name in the title of this thread to get people to look and help me. I appologise if I offended anyone especially Master Britt.
