After many months of slow work and endless toil. I give you my 90% complete DIY sporran. The 10 % that needs finishing is a new back flap, i dont like the way this one came out. and i plan to add some silver beads to the drawstrings to add a little bling and break up the black.

The Details:
Pattern Thompson book "So you are going to wear the kilt"
Black Suede front and back panels
stiffener and you will see the back flap are tooling belly.
All hand stitched, i did learn a new trick with this one. Suede is a bit stretchy, so i used masking tape to stablize the leather and then draw my pattern on the tape. Cutting it out was a breeze.

I plan to change the back flap, with a piece of black latigo leather. I dont have any on hand when i was making it.

As always comments please.
Thank you to all the X-Markers who posted pics of there DIY sporrans, i have been looking at them every step of the way. Turpin your advise to me and other here on the DIY thread is invaluable.

OH Jock take a look at my Balmoral all nice and tied up


the inside shot

Notice the matching buttons on my sporran and sporran belt


The stitching around the top got a little " rustic" as i was doing it late at night and without ample light. i was also stitching blind. trying to line it up as best as i could. all my holes where pre punch on the tooling belly and the ones in the suede where hard to find.
