Judgement Day

Looks Grrrreat! I would pick the smaller of the two sporrans, but that is just my taste. You've done yerself proud!

Thanks McMurdo, I shall remember that for any future posts I do.
The 2 'sporrons' in the photo are actually purses I got from a local Op Shop. I bought them mainly for the shape and to get some opinion on the best one. I think now I will use the smaller of the 2 as a pattern, and, along with the pattern I downloaded for a 'Rob Roy', I should end up with an acceptable sporran. The leather I am going to use is from and old leather jacket I have had in the wardrobe for years and never wear it now. I believe it is English deer hide, quite soft and is black. I may use parts of the smaller purse to stiffen the leather on the inside, but outward appearance would be the deer hide only, including some handmade tassles from the same hide.

from Moreland,GA. You did a very nice job on the kilt.

Be blessed

Thank you Dundee, I now believe I can actually wear it with nobody saying it looks wrong.
Now I am in the middle of doing a home made sporran out of an old leather coat using a pattern of the "Rob Roy", which I found in another thread somewhere, so you might find this in the DIY area soon.

Nice job. I like the smaller sporran better, but that's just me.

Keep it up!

Alwyn!

Really nice. Do you have any pics on what you have as a starting point for your sporrans?

**McMurdo** · 21st August 08, 05:14 AM

Very nice work, I'm with Alan here I prefer the smaller sporran, however both would do, BTW I fixed your photo coding, you don't need the [url] code. Heree is a shot of the code you want to copy from Photobucket.

Well done! I like those DIY projects, where you have to find some work-arounds (like buying some other cheap products or use recycled ones; belt...) and use them in different way.
