Convertible Sporran - First Attempt

[Chas]

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.

It all depend on the activities you are going to be involved in. Walking, talking and sitting are fine, but active hiking or in my case Scottish Country Dancing, can cause the sporran to bounce. Can be painful. I find adjusting up an inch is more than enough to cure the problem.

Regards

Chas
