Sporran picture wanted

[Kilted Rogue]

I am finishing up my 1st DIY sporran from the pattern in Thompson book(pictures to follow of course). I chose the Rob Roy style for the 1st go round. As i was working today I came across a rabbit pelt that needs a home. So i started making plans for my next sporran. I plan to make the other patten that seems more of an evening sporran Here is where i need the assistance from you lot. I need a visual reference to go with the directions. I am hopping that this sporran will be able to pass as a semi-formal or at least dressy evening attire.

So if anyone out there in XMTS land has used this pattern and has a pic, or can toss me a link to a thread where this may be covered, That would be fantastic.

once again i thank you all in advance

I find myself in very much the same situation, only I just picked up a Red Fox pelt, Maybe we should combine our thread along with anyone else "in progress" of making a semi-formal and formal dress sporran for the benifit of the membership. I have found that searching for this info in amongst the threads to be less than benifitial. If we get a truely hands on and instructional DIY thread going here, I'd ask the mods to make it a sticky.

Any thoughts?

I am with you, but the snag is that I am using a Published and Copyrighted pattern. I would hate to infringe on Mr Thompson information, i think the mods would agree. Now if others are using a different design for there formal or semi formal sporrans. Than a DIY sporran sticky sounds like a good idea to me

MODs will you please weigh in on this.

So You're Going to Wear the Kilt.

Many of us got our start there, and it still wears well, even after several decades.

Oh! Okay, thank you! I am familiar with the title and author, but did not realize that is who you referenced. Will be acquiring a copy soon.
