I'm planning to make my own sporran. It'll be a pouch type sporran with drawstrings. I plan to include pockets for ID card and cell phone. I also want to include a short lanyard with a trigger snap for my keyring - I hate digging in the bottom of my sporran for my keys.

I've recently been learning how to work with leather and this is going to be my first custom sporran - my custom sporran strap was a complete success.

Any advice before I start?
