    The stitching looks great. Did you use a machine or did you hand-stitch it?

    I hand stitched it. I use an overstitching wheel to lay out the stitch spacing and use a saddle stitch for strength.

    Thank you all for taking a look and commenting on it.

    And the addiiction begins anew. Very creditable work. It follows the Thompson pattern pretty closely.

    Great first effort! WARNING: You're going to find this quite addictive. Every time you make one you're going to add one or two new bells or whistles. The great thing about this style of sporran is it lends itself to an infinate number of modifications and personalizations. Don't say you haven't been warned.
