Thank your for all the nice comments. I've been working with leather for many years, just never made a sporran before.

I like the look of round-braid edge lacing and I thought a round braid strap would look nice with it. The only drawback I see is that the strap isn't adjustable. But how often do you adjust your sporran strap?

I hope to make a second flap this weekend, and maybe get started on a slightly smaller version. This sporran is about 8 inches wide. I think 6 or 7 inches wide would be a bit more practical.
