Hot off the workbench

[David Thorpe]

Very, very nice ... want to make another?

Thanks, but it was a short break from kilt making for me. The first pattern I did was a bit too small, but will be perfect for my 10-year-old great-nephew for Christmas.

Very nice piece of kit. Well done sir!

[Tobus]

Wow, that turned out very nice! Well done!

[David Thorpe]

Thanks to all for the kind words.
I now understand why quality sporrans are so expensive. I only used around $50 US in materials, but it took a good 20 hours.

I really like that sporran.

[Piipriker]

that's a really nice piece.

Very nice. Do you have a pattern that you used? Would you mind sharing it?

[Chas]

I am very impressed. Most hunter style sporrans look like some sort of case-hardened gonad shield. But this looks soft and tactile. I've got to say that I have never wanted a hunter style before, but I want one like that.

Regards

I did a Google image search using "hunting sporran" and downloaded this file.
I then enlarged the photo to life size and printed it.
I traced the outlines of the pieces onto my hide using tailor's carbon paper and a tracing wheel.
As I said earlier, the first time it came out a bit small, so I enlarged it a little more and repeated the process. The back and gusset were done by SWAG.
