99% complete. Just need to finish the button loop closure. Not entirely sure I'll stick with the loop and/or two buttons. Going to try it out for a while to see if it annoys me.

The panels are a layer of duck canvas inside lining, plastic canvas interfacing, and tweed outer lining. The gusset is two layers of duck canvas. The biggest issue I had with the plastic canvas was it didn't allow me to hide the stitches to attach it to the duck canvas. If it were cloth, I'd be able to hide all of them except for where the gusset attaches to the back panel. It's also a bit too springy. The gusset is pretty wide. Maybe too wide. I'd like to use a buttonhole but I think the panel layer is too thick and the loop will give me adjustment room.

The tweed is cloth recovered from a Salvation Army resale shop jacket.

Sporran #3 will be tweed (still a lot of cloth left over), duck canvas, and Pellon Pelltex#70 fusible interfacing instead of plastic canvas. It should make it more leather like.

I'll post the link to my construction blog post when it's finished. Here's a photo until then. Can't wait to give it a try. Unfortunately, next week is another brand attire only week at work :-(
