1st attempt at a sporran bag, for MOD brass cantle

( with many thanks to Artificer, for inspiration)
My first attempt. Learned a lot, and if I can make notes soon enough, maybe the next one will be an improvement.

Good job, in fact great job considering its your first!

Well done mate. Might I ask what you used to stiffen the leather where it attaches to the cantle - and what type of fastening to actually attach the bag on the lugs?

[jhockin]

I used sew-on snaps ("female" half only, as the welded in posts act as the "male" half). Used an arc of thicker leather, between lining and bag, which I sewed the sew-on snaps to:

This is not the first sporran I've made, but the first for one of these brass cantles. With the sew-on snaps, one could make any number of different bags, to use with the brass cantle.

Very neat. My sporran still needs lining and a piece of tweed is in the post somewhere. I shall be following your method when it arrives.

Following a previous post by Artificer, I used Dritz Sew-On Snaps, size 10/21mm, brass snaps. Unfortunately, I could not find a way to purchase only the "female" half of the snaps, even from Dritz/Prym.

Looks great to me. I really like the color of the leather. Might have to see about getting ahold of one of those cantles.
