I've made a sporran strap and a couple sporrans. If you're using a garment weight leather it's no problem. I put a leather needle in the sewing machine and used a roller foot since I don't have a walking foot. The strap is a strip of latigo. I cut it in the middle and rivited a buckle on one piece and rivited a trigger clip on each end. The only "special" tool I used is a rotary leather punch. As for supplies, I really don't get elaborate so I just pick up what I need from a local leather shop.
